Any person aggrieved by any order or decision issued by the Superintendent under the provisions of this chapter or regulations thereof, and any person aggrieved by seizure or confiscation made by the Superintendent may petition for a reconsideration before the Superintendent within 10 days reckoning from the date in which the notice of the decision or order or the seizure or confiscation is received. The Superintendent shall prescribe by regulations the manner in which said reconsideration hearing shall be held, granting thereby to the person applying therefor the right to be assisted by counsel, to produce and cross-examine witnesses and to produce evidence. Every person not in accordance with the decision issued by the Superintendent, after the holding of the hearing, or to whom same is denied, may petition for a review of the Court of First Instance, which court may, in the use of its discretion, grant or refuse same. The petition for review shall be filed within a term of 30 days reckoning from the date of the receipt of the notice of the decision of the Superintendent. A copy of said petition shall be notified to the Superintendent, who shall certify and file with the court a copy of the record of the case.
The filing of the petition for reconsideration or review shall not stay the effects of the order, decision, seizure or confiscation challenged.
