The Constitutional Court rectified a clerical error in a previous decision that incorrectly stated only one appellant was being condemned to court fees. The material facts involved two separate appeals filed by two distinct recorrentes, which the original text failed to reflect accurately. The court applied civil procedure codes to amend the record, ensuring each appellant is individually liable for the specified court fees.

ACÓRDÃO N

ACÓRDÃO N.º 458/91

Processo n.º 258/91

1.ª Secção

Relator: Conselheiro António Vitorino

Acordam na 1ª Secção do Tribunal Constitucional:

Escreve-se no Acórdão n.º 411/91 desta Secção que "... decide-se não tomar conhecimento dos recursos. Condena-se o recorrente na taxa de justiça de 5 unidades de conta (UC´s)."

Trata-se evidentemente de um lapso manifesto, uma vez que o Acórdão abrange os dois recursos, interpostos pelos dois recorrentes, como é claro do seu próprio texto.

Nestes termos, e ao abrigo do disposto nos artigos 716.º e 667.º do Código de Processo Civil, aplicáveis "ex vi" do artigo 69.º da Lei n.º 28/82, de 15 de Novembro, rectifica-se o referido Acórdão, onde se deverá passar a ler: "... decide-se não tomar conhecimento dos recursos. Condena-se cada recorrente na taxa de justiça de 5 unidades de conta (UC's)."
