Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the contentious appeal filed by Bailão, Jose and others against a directive issued by the Secretary of State for Finance. The plaintiffs argued the directive constituted an administrative act subject to judicial review, but the court found it was merely an internal instruction for subordinates. Consequently, the directive lacks the external legal effects required to be an actionable administrative act.

SUMÁRIO I - A directiva emanada do Superior Hierárquico, com o único propósito, de dar aos seus subalternos a orientação a seguir em determinados casos concretos relativos às matérias nele referidos, constitui um mero acto interno.

II - Tal directiva não é, pois, acto administrativo, contenciosamente recorrível, pelo que deverá rejeitar-se o recurso dela interposto, por ilegalidade da sua interposição.
