The Supreme Administrative Tribunal dismissed the appeal regarding the calculation of distances for pharmacy transfers under the 1962 Portaria. The Recorrente argued for a specific measurement method, while the Recorrido maintained the standard interpretation. The court held that distances must be calculated between the transferred pharmacy and the nearest pharmacies existing at both the time before and after the transfer, rather than to the newly nearest pharmacy.
