Legislator summary

AI generated

The Tribunal da Relação do Porto ruled that the failure to record witness testimony, despite its written reduction, constituted a procedural nullity. The appellant successfully argued that this defect violated statutory recording requirements, while the lower court had overlooked the necessity of the audio record. The court affirmed the nullity because the defect was not cured by the written transcript alone and was properly raised during the proceedings.

SUMÁRIO

I - A falta de gravação dos depoimentos das testemunhas, quando for exigida essa gravação, e apesar da sua redução a escrito, constitui nulidade processual, a qual deve, porém, ser arguida oportunamente, sob pena de se considerar sanada.
