As per the case facts, the appellant, a 'Communidade' (an agricultural association with common properties), challenged a High Court judgment concerning a compromise or agreement. The High Court had denied
...legal sanctity to this compromise, deeming it an abuse of law. The Communidade appealed, asserting its power to enter into such agreements. The question arose whether Article 30 (4) (g) of the Code grants unfettered power to a Communidade to enter into a compromise without the Administrative Tribunal's sanction. Finally, the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, finding no reason to interfere with the High Court's order. The Court clarified that while Article 30 (4) (g) allows deliberation on compromise terms, it does not confer unfettered power without the Tribunal’s sanction, and the compromise was rightly denied legal sanctity as it was a ploy to defeat the provisions of law.
