Acórdão 652/99

ACÓRDÃO Nº 652/99

Processo nº 1000/98

3ª secção

Relatora: Maria dos Prazeres Beleza

Acordam, em conferência, na 3ª Secção do

Tribunal Constitucional:

Notificado do acórdão de fls. 1296, vem o recorrente L... requerer a sua aclaração, no requerimento de fls. 1303, considerando obscura a seguinte passagem:

"É que o acórdão recorrido [...] não aplicou, nem poderia aplicar, pois que considerou improcedente a arguição de nulidade por parte do ora reclamante, as normas de direito substantivo e processual que constituem o objecto do recurso de constitucionalidade".

Basta, todavia, ler a totalidade do acórdão para verificar que não enferma de nenhuma obscuridade o trecho transcrito.

Assim, indefere-se o pedido de aclaração.
