The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa dismissed the appeal against the Public Prosecutor's order refusing to consult investigation files or entrust them to a representative. The prosecutor argued that the request did not meet procedural requirements under the Criminal Procedure Code, while the appellant contended that such access is a fundamental right. The court ruled that Article 399 of the Criminal Procedure Code explicitly governs only judicial decisions, thereby excluding administrative or prosecutorial dispatches from its scope.
