The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the judicial review filed by Rebelo, Jose against the President of the Chamber of Gavião. The President had refused a request to pass a certification of facts and events existing in the chamber's archives under Article 173(3) of the Administrative Code. The court ruled that such decisions are inherently discretionary and therefore can only be contested if there is a clear deviation of power.
