The Tribunal da Relação of Lisbon decided not to take cognizance of the criminal appeal. The applicant sought the application of a clemency measure included in an amnesty diploma, arguing that urgency due to the approaching end of imprisonment required immediate review. The court ruled that such measures generally fall under the jurisdiction of the first-instance court to preserve the double degree of jurisdiction, unless specific urgent circumstances exist.

SUMÁRIO

A aplicação de medida de clemência inserida em diploma amnistiante, só cabe ao Tribunal da Relação se o processo aí se encontrar e se razões de urgência, como a de proximidade do termo da prisão, o impuserem, devendo, de outro modo, salvaguardar-se o duplo grau de jurisdição.
