Suspension of credit claim deadlines during judicial vacations in Portuguese corporate recovery proceedings is allowed.

The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa ruled that the deadline for claiming credits is suspended during judicial vacations within special corporate recovery proceedings. The plaintiff argued that the statutory period expired while the court was on holiday, while the opposing party contended the deadline should run continuously. The court decided to suspend the deadline because the procedural nature of the recovery process requires equitable treatment of parties during judicial inactivity.
