Legislator summary

AI generated

The court granted the request to suspend the effectiveness of a disciplinary act despite the defendant's claim of the presumption of innocence. While the presumption protects the accused, it does not bar suspension when the act causes severe damage to public interest. The court balanced these values, ruling that suspension is appropriate when such significant public harm is demonstrated.

SUMÁRIO

I - A presunção de inocencia do arguido, reconhecida constitucionalmente, não impede que possa ser negada a suspensão da eficacia do acto punitivo por grave lesão do interesse publico.

II - Os valores subjacentes a mesma presunção podem, porem, coincidir com os demais que deverão ser considerados quando se aprecia o pedido de suspensão da eficacia do acto que devera, então, ser concedida.
