The Administrative Disputes Court has ordered the National District City Government to suspend Ordinances 3-2010 and 4-2010 under which the city wanted to create property taxes and increased fees on permits and other paperwork. Judge Sarah Henriquez ordered the provisional suspension until the tribunal hears an administrative appeal that was filed by the National Hotels and Restaurants Association (Asonahores) and the Santo Domingo Hotel Association, which also requested the suspension that was ordered yesterday.
