Questão jurídica principal
Whether the administrative-law appeal against the commission's failure to decide was admissible.
Decisão extraída
Yes. A refusal or delay to decide is treated as a decision, and the expropriated parties had standing to complain.
Fundamentação extraída
Article 97(2) OG assimilates unjustified silence to a decision, and Article 77(1) Expropriation Act opens the appeal route against decisions of estimation commissions.
