The Supreme Administrative Court unanimously dismissed the appeal regarding the suspension of time limits for filing a contentious administrative remedy. The court found that the appellant utilized the procedure for passing certificates solely as a dilatory tactic rather than to obtain previously unavailable evidence. Consequently, the statutory suspension of the deadline was not granted because the means employed were deemed merely dilatory.

SUMÁRIO

A suspensão de prazo para a interposição de recurso contencioso prevista no artigo 85º da LPTA só será actuante quando se não venha a entender que o particular se socorreu do meio processual de intimação para a passagem de certidões por razões meramente dilatórias, não beneficiando de tal concessão o particular que deduza o dito meio processual para obter elementos que já estavam ao seu dispor.
