The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the appeal filed by Martins against the General Chief of the EME regarding the exercise of discretionary power. The court held that while a discretionary official may create specific norms to limit their actions in a concrete case, they cannot bind themselves permanently through rules of execution. This distinction ensures that administrative discretion remains flexible for future situations while preventing arbitrary self-imposed constraints on future decision-making.

SUMÁRIO

O titular do poder discricionario tem a faculdade de elaborar normas limitativas para o seu exercicio num caso concreto, - so lhe não sendo permitido auto-vincular-se por regras de execução permanente.
