The Supreme Administrative Tribunal dismissed the appeal filed by Mario Brandão against the General Council of Porto's decision. The appellant argued for specific public utility objectives, while the administration contended its broad discretion to define such matters. The court held that determining which objectives harm public welfare falls exclusively within the discretionary power of the administration under the cited decree-law.
