Questions of competence, in labor matters, may only be raised by declinatory plea.
The declinatory plea may be opposed up to the preliminary hearing, accompanied by the elements on which it is founded; at that moment, the Court, after hearing the parties and receiving the evidence it deems appropriate, which must refer exclusively to the question of incompetence, shall issue its resolution immediately.
