The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the appeal filed by João Junior against the State Secretariat of the Overseas Territories. The court held that its jurisdiction to evaluate the gravity of a disciplinary penalty is strictly conditional upon the prior verification of the material existence of the alleged offense. Consequently, the tribunal could not proceed to assess the severity of the sanction without first establishing the factual basis of the infraction.
