“We have long held that because [a] determination regarding a [tribunal’s] subject matter jurisdiction is a question of law, our review is plenary. . . . Subject matter jurisdiction involves the authority of the [tribunal] to adjudicate the type of controversy presented by the action before it. . . . [A tribunal] lacks discretion to consider the merits of a case over which it is without jurisdiction .... The subject matter jurisdiction *849requirement may not be waived by any party, and also may be raised by a party, or by the [tribunal] sua sponte, at any stage of the proceedings, including on appeal.” (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Id., 180.
