The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the appeal, confirming the lower court's decision regarding the notification of the indictment. The prosecution had verbally pronounced the indictment and dictated it to the court record, arguing no formal reading was necessary. The court held that since the parties were present and would immediately understand the content and effects, a formal reading was not required.

SUMÁRIO

Apos o encerramento do debate instrutorio, e sendo o despacho de pronuncia proferido verbalmente e ditado para a acta, considera-se o mesmo notificado aos presentes, não se exigindo a sua leitura, pois certamente os presentes logo se apercebem do seu conteudo e efeitos.
