Legislator summary

AI generated

The Administrative Court rejected the appeal filed by a teacher against a disciplinary act imposing suspension and salary loss. The Director-General argued the act was final and enforceable, while the appellant contended it lacked vertical finality and should be contestable. The court held that in disciplinary matters, hierarchical authority prevails over delegated powers, rendering the act vertically final and thus inadmissible for appeal.

SUMÁRIO

I - O acto de um director-geral que, apos o processo disciplinar, impõe a pena de suspensão de exercicio de funções e vencimento, carece de definitividade vertical.

II - O acto administrativo, material e horizontalmente definitivo, mas a que falte definitividade vertical, e insusceptivel de impugnação contenciosa.

III - Em materia disciplinar, a hierarquia prevalece sobre a delegação de poderes.
