The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa dismissed the appeal against a disciplinary fine imposed by a civil judge on a Magistrate of the Public Prosecution Service. The civil judge sought to apply fines under the Civil Procedure Code to the MP judge for conduct in a minor protection proceeding, arguing it was a procedural sanction. The court ruled that such fines constitute disciplinary penalties reserved exclusively for the internal organs of the Public Prosecution Service, not the judicial branch. Consequently, the civil judge was ordered to merely report the anomalous situation to the MP's hierarchy without imposing any sanction.
