The Tribunal da Relação do Porto denied the request for defense fees totaling 10,000 escudos. The defense attorney only participated in a single hearing regarding illegal transport, where no witnesses were called. The court ruled that the fee was excessive given the limited scope of the lawyer's intervention and the absence of evidentiary proceedings.

SUMÁRIO

Está adequada à dificuldade do assunto e ao tempo gasto a quantia de 10.000$00 atribuída como honorários a defensor oficioso (advogado) que apenas interveio na audiência de julgamento de arguido por condução ilegal e em que nem sequer foram ouvidas testemunhas.
