The Benghazi Court of Appeal issued a ruling to halt the implementation of the decision of Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aguila Saleh, regarding imposing a tax on foreign exchange sales.
It accepted the appeal submitted by lawyer Ghalia Al-Sheen against the Central Bank’s decision to impose a tax on the exchange rate, and ruled to halt its implementation.
According to what was stated in the text of the ruling, the Speaker of the House of Representatives alone cannot issue such a decision other than the House of Representatives together.
The court ruling indicated that the person who proposed imposing the fee or tax was a person who did not have legal status because he was dismissed from his position as governor of the Central Bank of Libya, according to the text of the ruling.
Today, Thursday, the Misrata Court of Appeal issued a judicial order to temporarily halt the implementation of the decision of Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aguila Saleh, to impose a 27% “tax” fee on the official exchange rate of foreign currencies, until the matter is decided.
A similar ruling was issued yesterday, Wednesday, by the South Tripoli Court of Appeal in Administrative Appeal No. 12 of 2024 filed by the Prime Minister of the National Unity Government, Abdul Hamid Al-Dabaiba.
