Iravaban.net has referred to the 80-year-old Misha Petrosyan’s case earlier. The Customs Service had banned the old man’s health important items, which he had brought from Russia. The Customs authorities told the old man to pay 500 thousand AMD as a customs duty for transfer of 320 kilograms of property. Misha Petrosyan refers to the EEC agreements and argued that these items are exempted from customs duties.
80-year-old Misha Petrosyan appealed to the administrative court to oblige the Ministry of Finance (current State Revenue Committee) to allow the use of personal property imported without customs fees. The court of the First Instance has met the old man’s claim and ruled a favorable decision, but the State Revenue Committee appealed it.
Today the Administrative Court of Appeal met the claim of the State Revenue Committee. This means that the personal belongings shall stay under the ban.
However, it is noteworthy that the Court of First Instance highlighted the applicant’s age and type of property under arrest. “Given the age of the claimant, who was born in 1936 and his statement that in his private use property there are items necessary for his health and recovery, and that the impossibility of using those items have a negative impact on the plaintiff’s health, The Court finds that this judicial act shall enter into force upon publication, providing that it may be appealed within one month from the date of publication.”
And considering the formulation of First Instance Court ruling that the act shall enter into force upon publication, the applicant applied to the Enforcement Service. However, the State Revenue Committee refused to meet the judgment, the Enforcement Service applied to the Court, and currently there is a judicial act on the implementation of the judgment of the Administrative Court.
Misha Petrosyan shall appeal today’s decision of the Court of Appeal at the Court of ZCassation. And he is going to apply to the European Court of Human Rights because his health suffer as a result of such conduct of the Taxation Body.
