Resumo Omnilex

DIEAR transferred a first-class fishing permit from the previous holder to a third party. The former holder challenged the decision, arguing in substance that he should have been personally heard. The authority relied on his handwritten declaration and his almost complete inactivity during the previous two years. The court held that, in these circumstances, DIEAR did not abuse its discretion and the transfer could stand.

Sumário Omnilex

RALPEC.18; transfer of a fishing permit and scope of administrative discretion; right to be heard. An authority does not abuse its discretion by transferring a first-class fishing permit to a third party without personally hearing the former holder where it may rely on the holder's written declaration and on objective evidence of near inactivity over a prolonged period. The absence of a personal hearing is not, by itself, decisive if the relevant facts are sufficiently established and the evidentiary basis is adequate to support the administrative assessment.
