Court partially allows appeal by ruling that failure to pay court fees without prior notice does not constitute irremediable abandonment. The court held that parties must be notified of fee obligations and consequences before the appeal is deemed abandoned. This decision clarifies that procedural abandonment requires formal warning, not just non-payment. The ruling protects the right to appeal by ensuring due process in fee collection. Consequently, the appeal is not dismissed solely due to unpaid fees without notice. The judgment emphasizes the necessity of prior communication to validly abandon an appeal.

The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa partially allowed the appeal, ruling that the mere non-payment of court fees without prior notice does not constitute irremediable abandonment under Article 192 of the 1962 Code of Criminal Justice. The court found that both the assisting appellant and the accused appellant must be formally notified of the fee obligation and the specific consequences of non-payment before the appeal can be deemed abandoned. Consequently, the court decided that the lack of such notification rendered the appellant's failure to pay insufficient to justify the dismissal of the appeal, thereby preserving the right to judicial review.

SUMÁRIO

- A norma do artigo 192 do CCJ de 1962 ao ditar a irremediável deserção do recurso pelo simples não cumprimento do ónus do pagamento da taxa de justiça no prazo de 7 dias sem que corra qualquer formalidade de aviso ou comunicação ao assistente-recorrente sobre as consequências desse não pagamento, é excessivamente limitativa do direito a recurso.

- O assistente-recorrente, tal como o arguido-recorrente, deve ser notificado para o pagamento da taxa de justiça e multa (artigos 192 do CCJ e 145 n. 5 do Código de Processo Civil), com a advertência da cominação a que alude o artigo 192 do CCJ de 1962.
