Legislator summary

AI generated

The Tribunal da Relação do Porto partially allowed the contraventional appeal regarding an unauthorized construction project. The appellant argued that obtaining a license after starting work should mitigate the penalty, while the opposing party contended that the initial unauthorized execution constituted a clear violation. The court ruled that the act of starting work before licensing is indeed a contravention, yet the subsequent acquisition of the license must be considered when determining the specific amount of the fine.

SUMÁRIO I - Deve considerar-se verificada a contra-ordenação pelo

" início " da execução duma obra sempre que aquele ocorra antes do licenciamento, sendo indiferente, na aplicação da coima, que a taxa de licenciamento de urbanização seja agravada pelo mesmo facto, visto tratar-se de montantes devidos pelo dono da obra, de diversa natureza - coima e taxa. A obtenção posterior da licença não deixa, porém, de dever ser tida em conta na medida concreta da coima a aplicar.
