Legislator summary

AI generated

The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa dismissed the appeal regarding the calculation period for challenging an administrative fine. The court determined that the 20-day limit specified in DL 433/82 is a substantive right rather than a procedural one, excluding the application of general procedural time rules. Consequently, the appeal period was calculated according to the specific counting method mandated by the relevant decree-law, not the standard civil procedure code.
