    In terms of further review of the case, the assessee submitted during today’s hearing some new written documents.

    The Public Commissioner, while holding his standpoint with regard to the appeal grounds, clarified that he did not request a re-opening of the investigation, but the dismissal of the assessee on the basis of existing evidences. Consequently, the Public Commissioner requested the adjudication panel to not administer in the capacity of evidence the written documents submitted by the assessee, considering that these acts are not necessary and they do not have any evidentiary value.

    The adjudication panel decided to allow the collection of the evidences submitted by the assessee, excluding those that did not meet the formal terms to be submitted as evidences.
