P.R. Laws tit. 3, § 2173
2019-02-20
The court may exempt a petitioner from having to exhaust any or all of the administrative remedies provided in case such remedy is inadequate or that requiring its exhaustion would cause irreparable harm to the petitioner and in the balance of interests it is not justified to exhaust such remedies, or when a substantive violation of constitutional rights is alleged, or when it is useless to exhaust the administrative remedies due to an excessive delay in the procedures, or when it is a clear case of lack of agency jurisdiction, or when it is a strictly legal matter and administrative expertise is unnecessary.
