The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the Chamber President's appeal regarding the imposition of disciplinary penalties on municipal staff. The President argued that a 1991 law transferring management supervision to him also granted penalty authority, but the court found this interpretation incorrect. The decision clarified that while the President can reprimand employees, the power to apply formal disciplinary penalties remains exclusively with the Municipal Chamber.

SUMÁRIO

I - Face ao Estatuto Disciplinar aprovado pelo D.L. n.

24/84, de 16/1, compete à Câmara Municipal aplicar aos respectivos funcionários e agentes todas as penas disciplinares, tendo, porém, o presidente da Câmara Municipal competência para repreender qualquer funcionário ou agente ao serviço da autarquia

(art. 18).

II - Este regime não foi alterado pelo facto de a Lei n. 18/91, de 12/6, que alterou o DL. n. 100/89, de

29/3, ter transferido a competência para "superintender na gestão e direcção do pessoal ao serviço do Município", da Câmara Municipal para o presidente da Câmara Municipal.
