The administrative court dismissed the action filed by Carlos Rodrigues & Filhos LDA against the Municipality of Braga regarding the execution of a public works contract. The plaintiff argued for the enforcement of extra-judicially invoked rights, but the court found the claim time-barred. The decision relied on the specific 180-day caducity period established in the Decree-Law 48,871/69, which runs from the notification of the owner's denial of the claim.
