Issuing a Ruling on Lack of Jurisdiction
Article 183:
When it is made obvious in accordance with the provisions of the law that the court does not have the authority to proceed with the case, the court shall issue a ruling indicating the lack of authority to proceed, identify the competent court, and send the case to the relevant prosecutor’s office.
The prosecution office shall refer the issue immediately to the court identified as competent and if the referred court also identifies itself without proper authority to proceed with the case, it will issue a ruling on lack of jurisdiction and return the case to the relevant prosecution office.
