Legislator summary

AI generated

The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa declared its competence to try a defendant accused of multiple crimes, despite residual offenses falling under another court's jurisdiction. The court held that jurisdiction is fixed at the moment the accusation is received, as mandated by the Criminal Procedure Code, thereby preventing a transfer based on subsequent or residual charges. This decision upholds the principle of the natural judge by ensuring the tribunal designated at the time of indictment retains authority over the entire case.
