The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the request for fee exemption filed by a judge against the Ministry of Finance. The court ruled that Article 17, Section 1, Item j of Law 21/85 grants exemptions only when a judge acts as a party in a specific service-related action. Since the current case concerned the judge's own salary arrears, the exemption provision did not apply. Consequently, the court determined that the judge must bear the litigation costs for this procedural dispute.

SUMÁRIO

A isenção de preparos e custas estabelecido no art. 17 n. 1 j) da Lei n. 21/85 só tem lugar nas acções em que o magistrado judicial intervenha, como parte principal ou acessório, por facto que lhe seja atribuível por causa do serviço concreto das suas funções de dizer ou de faça justiça, não operando, pois no recurso contencioso onde se discuta o montante do seu vencimento.
