The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa ruled that the one-year prescription period for criminal contravention procedures is validly interrupted by the remittal of case files to the judge. The prosecution argued that this procedural step halted the statutory timeline, while the defense contended otherwise. The court affirmed the interruption based on established statutory provisions, allowing the prosecution to proceed within the extended timeframe.
