Portuguese court dismisses administrative appeal regarding social service contract termination due to lack of procedural justification.

The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the extraordinary review appeal filed by the social service provider against the termination of its contract. The provider argued that the administrative authority failed to provide sufficient legal grounds for the decision, while the authority contended the contract was terminated for objective reasons unrelated to the provider's conduct. The court ruled that the administrative act was substantively correct and procedurally compliant, finding no merit in the claim of arbitrary termination.
