The Supreme Administrative Court ruled unanimously that administrative orders denying import duty exemptions are procedurally flawed if they lack proper legal reasoning. The appellant, a printing company, challenged the Director-General's decision to reject its exemption request under Law DL 256-A/77. The court held that such discretionary acts require explicit justification to ensure transparency and allow for effective judicial review.
