Canon 139. §1 Unless the law prescribes otherwise, the tact that a person approaches some competent authority, even a higher one, does not mean that the executive power of another competent authority is suspended, whether that be ordinary or delegated.
§2 A lower authority, however, is not to interfere in cases referred to higher authority, except for a grave and urgent reason; in which case the higher authority is to be notified immediately.
§1. Nisi aliud iure statuatur, eo quod quis aliquam auctoritatem, etiam superiorem, competentem adeat, non suspenditur alius auctoritatis competentis exsecutiva potestas, sive haec ordinaria est sive delegata.
§2. Causae tamen ad superiorem auctoritatem delatae ne se immisceat inferior, nisi ex gravi urgentique causa; quo in casu statim superiorem de re moneat.
