The Tribunal da Relação do Porto ruled that an appeal against a denial of legal aid has immediate effect but only suspends the specific aid decision, not the progress of the main case. The appellant argued for suspension of the entire proceedings, while the court distinguished between the procedural outcome of the aid request and the substantive trial. The decision clarifies that under the applicable law, the appeal's suspensive effect is limited strictly to the administrative act of denying aid.
