Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Administrative Court admitted an exceptional appeal against a lower court's decision that dismissed the suspension of the prescription period for disciplinary proceedings against a lawyer. The lower court had ruled that time spent by the lawyer in administrative and judicial challenges should not count towards the prescription period. The court granted the appeal because the time elapsed during these legal challenges was relevant and should be considered in calculating the prescription period.

SUMÁRIO

Dada a sua relevância jurídica e social é de admitir o recurso de revista excepcional de acórdão do T.C.A, que considerou não suspender o decurso do prazo de prescrição do procedimento disciplinar por infracção praticada por advogado, o decurso do tempo dispendido pelo contra-interessado em impugnações administrativas e judiciais.
