Portuguese court dismisses municipality's appeal regarding administrative fines for illegal construction permits.

The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the Municipality of Figueira da Foz's appeal against a decision imposing administrative fines. The municipality argued that the fines were excessive and violated the principle of proportionality, while the court upheld the original ruling based on established administrative law principles. The court determined that the fines were legally justified and proportionate to the severity of the violation of urban planning regulations.
