The Supreme Administrative Court of Portugal unanimously ruled that a party exempted from pre-payment of justice fees must still liquidate the fee at the end of the proceedings. The Fazenda Pública argued that the exemption was conditional on the party's initial position, while the respondent claimed the exemption was absolute. The court held that the exemption merely delays payment but does not extinguish the debt, requiring payment regardless of the final outcome.
