Legislator summary

AI generated

The Tribunal da Relação of Lisbon dismissed the appeal against a sentence that acquitted the defendant of speeding. The defendant argued the sentence was null because the officer who issued the fine was not heard and no reasoning was provided. The court upheld the nullity of the original judgment, ruling that these procedural defects rendered the acquittal invalid.

SUMÁRIO

É nula a sentença que absolveu o arguido, acusado de excesso de velocidade verificada pelo "radar", o qual havia liquidado a multa, se não foi ouvido o autuante nem se indicaram os fundamentos.
