The Supreme Administrative Court of Portugal dismissed the appeal filed by Figueiredo & Irmão LDA against the Ultramar Administration's refusal of an import duty exemption. The applicant argued for the application of Article 3 of Decree-Law 34176, while the administration claimed the Minister of Ultramar retained the power to freely refuse such concessions. The court upheld the administration's position, ruling that the specific ministerial discretion granted by law allows for the denial of the exemption in this instance.
