Any administrative decision of the Secretary establishing penalties for deficiencies or levying administrative fines may be appealed from within the fifteen (15) days following the date on which the aggrieved party was served notice of the decision. The appeal shall be filed in the proper part of the Court of First Instance of Puerto Rico against the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, without the giving of bond, and shall be notified to the Secretary of Justice, who shall file his answer within the terms specified for any ordinary action. The case shall be heard without subjection to docket and against the judgment rendered no remedy shall lie other than a writ of certiorari before the Supreme Court, limited to issues of law. The effect of such contested administrative decisions shall not be stayed at any time until a final and definite judicial decision is rendered annulling the same.
