SUMÁRIO
A interpretação das normas relativas aos requisitos exigidos para a concessão de licença a uma instituição particular de solidariedade social (mutualidade) para abertura de uma farmácia, normas que não foram, neste aspecto particular, objecto de anterior apreciação pelo STA, é questão de especial relevância social para cuja decisão se justifica a admissão da revista excepcional do art.º 150.º do CPTA.
