The Supreme Administrative Court unanimously dismissed the appeal filed by Jose Andrade against his promotion to a third-class overseas finance director. The Ministry of Overseas Territories (MinULT) argued that the promotion followed established criteria and was made by the Minister's discretionary choice, which is the standard procedure for such positions. The court held that since a specific criterion was applied consistently to all promoted officials, no legal defect justified annulling the appointment.
