The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the appeal against a first-instance criminal decision, ruling that the statutory deadline for filing appeals is strictly non-extendable. The appellant argued for a time extension based on civil procedure norms regarding recorded evidence, but the court rejected this analogy. Consequently, the court revoked the lower decision because the appeal was filed after the mandatory deadline had expired.

SUMÁRIO

Em processo penal, o prazo de interposição do recurso é improrrogável, não sendo aplicáveis as normas do processo civil designadamente a do seu artigo 698, que prevê a prorrogação do prazo quando o recurso tiver por objecto a reapreciação da prova gravada.
