Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the Public Prosecutor's appeal regarding the appointment of a substitute councilor. The court held that the statutory summons alone does not confer the mandate; the substitute must physically intervene in the assembly to assume the role. Consequently, the initial appointment was deemed legally insufficient without the subsequent intervention.

SUMÁRIO

A convocação do membro substituto, nos termos do n. 6 do DL n. 100/84, de 29 de Março, não o faz investir só por si no respectivo cargo e mandato, o que apenas acontece quando o mesmo, após aquela convocatória, intervém no órgão respectivo.
