Criminal appeal dismissed because the defendant was absent and the appeal deadline did not start until their presence was established.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the criminal appeal because the defendant was absent from the proceedings when the judgment was rendered. The court held that the appeal deadline only begins to run once the defendant is deemed present, which had not occurred in this instance. Consequently, the appellant failed to file the appeal within the correct timeframe, rendering the procedural remedy inadmissible.
