The Supreme Administrative Tribunal dismissed the appeal by Somundi-Soc Turística do Algarve against the Tourism Department's refusal to grant a concession. The appellant argued for the advantages of the concession based on public interest, while the administration claimed its decision was a matter of discretionary power. The court held that such administrative discretion is unreviewable unless there is proven error in factual premises or abuse of power, neither of which was established.
