2023 Laws of Puerto Rico › TITLE THREE - Executive (§§ 1 — 9311) › Chapter 75 - Uniform Administrative Procedure (§§ 2101 — 2201) › Subchapter IV - Judicial Review (§§ 2171 — 2177) › § 2172 - Review-Time to file

Any party adversely affected by an agency’s final judgment or resolution that has exhausted all the remedies provided by the agency or by the appropriate administrative appellate body may file a petition for review before the Court of Appeals within a term of thirty (30) days from the date a copy of the notice of entry of judgment or final order was filed in the record of the agency, or from the date applicable from those provided in § 2165 of this title when the term to request judicial review has been interrupted by the timely filing of a motion to reconsider. The party shall notify the agency and all other parties of the filing of the petition for review within the term established to request such review. The notice may be served by mail. Provided, That if the date on which the copy of the notice of entry of judgment or final order is filed in the records of the agency or the corresponding administrative appellate body differs from the mailing date of said notice, the term shall be calculated from the mailing date.
In the case of a challenge of a bid award, the party adversely affected by the judgment or final order of the agency or appellate body for bids, as the case may be, may file a petition for review before the Court of Appeals within a term of ten (10) days from the filing of a copy of the notice of entry of judgment or final order of the agency or appellate entity, or within ten (10) days from the expiration of the term provided by § 2169 of this title. If the filing date of the copy of the notice of entry of judgment or order differs from the mailing date of said notice, the term shall be calculated from the mailing date. The mere filing of a request for review under this section shall not have the effect of stopping the adjudication process of the challenged bid.
The recourse of judicial review shall be addressed by the panel or panels designated to hear matters that originate in the judicial region or judicial regions corresponding to the place where the activity or incident that led to the controversy is taking or has taken place, or the place of the processing and adjudication of a bid, or by the panels designated to hear recourses according to their subject or nature, pursuant to the provisions of the Rules of Appellate Procedure.
An order or interlocutory decree of an agency, including those issued in procedures that are carried out in stages, shall not be directly revisable. The interlocutory decree of an agency may be subject to an assignment of error in the motion to review the order or final decision of the agency.
The judicial review provided herein shall be the only recourse to review the merits of an administrative judgment issued under this chapter, whether adjudicative or informal in nature.
