The Constitutional Court corrected a clerical error in a previous dispatch regarding the legal effect of appeals. The original text incorrectly stated that the appeal had suspensive effects, while the correct legal status was merely devolutivo. The court applied Article 666.2 of the Civil Procedure Code to rectify this material mistake without re-examining the merits of the case.

Processo n.º 39/85

1ª Secção

Relator: Conselheiro Martins da Fonseca

Acordam no Tribunal Constitucional:

Por se tratar de mero erro material, já que se quisera repetir o que constava dos despachos de fls. 396 e 410, e ao abrigo do disposto no artigo 666.º, n.º 2 do Código de Processo Civil, decide-se rectificar o despacho de fls. 413, de modo que onde se lê “o recurso que segue os termos de apelação com os efeitos suspensivos”, se deve passar a ler “os recursos que seguem os termos de apelação, com efeito meramente devolutivo.”

Proceda às notificações necessárias.
