The Supreme Administrative Tribunal dismissed the action filed by Jose Dinis against the Municipal Council of Almada regarding civil liability for breach of an urban lease contract. The court held that such contracts are not included in the statutory list of administrative contracts subject to administrative jurisdiction under the Administrative Code. Consequently, the dispute falls under ordinary civil courts rather than the specialized administrative tribunals. The decision establishes that the specific enumeration of administrative contracts in the law excludes urban leases from administrative review.
