The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa denied the provision of a sanction for the accused's unjustified absence from an investigation proceeding. The court held that the investigation officer must reduce the summons to a formal auto containing specific requirements, including date, time, location, and signatures, for the absence to be legally proven. Consequently, mere information provided by a staff member was insufficient to justify the penalty without this formal documentation.

SUMÁRIO

I - Não tendo o arguido comparecido a diligência para que fora notificado em sede de inquérito, mesmo assim terá essa diligência de ser reduzida a auto, com os requisitos previstos na Lei - v. g. menção do dia, hora e local; chamada do arguido, constatação da sua falta e assinaturas dos intervenientes.

II - Só assim o auto fará fé, comprovando a falta do arguido e, só deste modo lhe poderá ser aplicada sanção (processual) se não justificar a falta; não bastando para o efeito qualquer "informação" prestada por funcionário.
