constitute any cause of action
Not sure of this, but I think it means the rulings of the commission/committee cannot be used as grounds for taking legal action (it also says they are not subject to appeal).

I think there is a nuance here, in that the commission/committee cannot be taken to court over their decisions, and also that they themselves will not reconsider any of their decisions on appeal.

Well I've never seen it worded that way before either, that's why I'm not sure it's correct, although that's the only way it makes sense to me. Hopefully some cleverer fellows can shed some light here.

Note from asker:
| Thanks for your kind input Robert! So, would you suspect that "no constituirán instancia y son inapelables" is an example of the kind of synonymous pair so common in legal language (e.g. "cease and desist")? |
| Thanks for your further elaboration on the matter. I definitely appreciate your input which has made this phrase a good deal more transparent for me. I was surprised at not seeing more information about this collocation in my research, as it at least has the look of a set phrase. |
