The Supreme Administrative Court unanimously admitted the exceptional review appeal against a disciplinary decision. The applicant argued that the lower court's reasoning regarding the presumption of innocence was contradictory and failed to properly address the burden of proof. The court agreed, ruling that the original judgment required clarification to ensure the fundamental right to the presumption of innocence was correctly applied in the sanctioning process.

SUMÁRIO

Justifica-se a admissão do recurso, pela clara necessidade de melhor aplicação do direito, face ao modo pouco claro ou contraditório como o acórdão recorrido tratou questão jurídica relevante que respeita ao princípio da presunção de inocência do arguido em processo sancionatório e aos seus corolários quanto ao ónus da prova dos factos e aos critérios de valoração da prova.
