The Administrative Court rejected the appellant's appeal, ruling that an explicit administrative act issued within three months of filing a petition prevents the formation of a tacit act, even if the recipient was not notified. The appellant incorrectly presumed the hierarchical appeal was denied due to the lack of notification, leading them to file a contentious appeal. The court held that the delay in notification was attributable to the administration's omission, not the appellant's failure to act, thereby invalidating the basis for the appeal's costs.

SUMÁRIO

I - O acto expresso, emitido dentro de tres meses contados a partir da apresentação da petição por quem tiver o dever legal de a decidir, ainda que não notificado nesse prazo ao seu destinatario, obsta a formação do acto tacito.

II - A falta de notificação do acto expresso, nas circunstancias referidas em I induziu, porem erradamente, o recorrente a presumir indeferido o seu recurso hierarquico pelo que o consequente recurso contencioso não pode deixar de imputar-se, para o efeito de custas, a conduta omissiva da Administração.
