Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the administrative sanction for disciplinary abandonment of post, ruling that the employee's absence was justified by physical detention by police authorities. The respondent argued the lack of appearance constituted abandonment, but the court found no intent to abandon the function since the employee was physically unable to attend. Consequently, the disciplinary measure was invalidated because the statutory elements for abandonment were not met.

SUMÁRIO

O abandono de lugar, como ilicito disciplinar, caracteriza-se pela falta de comparencia do funcionario ao serviço, sem justificação, durante determinado periodo de tempo, com intenção, por parte daquele, de não voltar a exercer a função.

Não ha, por isso, abandono quando a falta de comparencia ao serviço foi determinada pela impossibilidade fisica em que o agente se encontrou de a ele comparecer, por se encontrar detido a ordem da competente autoridade policial.
