Administrative Procedure Act Article 14

In the event of any controversy between or among different administrative authorities over the issue of jurisdiction, it shall be determined by the common superior authority thereof. In the absence of a common superior authority, the jurisdiction shall be determined by an agreement between or among the respective superior authorities of all authorities that have taken cognizance of the matter.In the circumstances described in the preceding paragraph, a person may apply to the common superior authority for designating an authority to exercise the jurisdiction over the matter for which he has filed an application under law or regulation. In the absence of such a common superior authority, an application for designating a competent authority may be filed with one of the superior authorities. The authority taking cognizance of such application shall make a decision within ten days from the date of receipt of the application.In the event where, pending a decision to be made under any of the circumstances described in the two preceding paragraphs, substantial and irreparable damage is likely to be caused to the State or any person, the authority, as a party to the controversy over jurisdiction, shall take urgent interim measures ex officio or upon application of the party to the matter and shall report to the common superior authority thereof and notify the other party to the controversy accordingly.No objection may be raised by any person against the decision on designated jurisdiction made by an administrative authority under this article.
