The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa ruled that the deadline for requesting the opening of criminal instruction does not begin until the accused receives a typed copy of the prosecution. The court held that the initial notification and delivery of the prosecution copy had no legal effect. Consequently, the procedural timeline was recalculated from the moment the accused actually received the document.
