Com. Ex Rel. Fisher v. Jash Intern., Inc.

OPINION BY Judge LEAVITT.

The Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (Commonwealth) has filed a complaint in this Court’s original jurisdiction against Jash International, Inc. (Jash) for failing to satisfy its obligations under the Tobacco Settlement Agreement Act (TSAA). 1 In defense, Jash has asserted that the TSAA applies to cigarette manufacturers and Jash is an importer of cigarettes, not a manufacturer.
