Legislator summary

AI generated

The applicant requested the Constitutional Court to clarify the meaning of a summary decision issued by the rapporteur under Article 78-A of the Law on Constitutional Jurisdiction. The respondent argued that no clarification was needed because the applicant explicitly stated there was no doubt regarding the decision's sense. The court rejected the request, noting that the applicant's own admission of certainty rendered the clarification unnecessary.

Acórdão 10/01

ACÓRDÃO Nº 10/01

Processo nº 69/2000

3ª Secção

Relatora: Maria dos Prazeres Pizarro Beleza

Acordam, na 3ª Secção

do Tribunal Constitucional:

Notificada do acórdão de fls. 181, AR, SA, veio requerer que fosse esclarecido "o sentido da decisão proferida, de acordo com o artigo" 78º-A, nº 1, da Lei nº 28/82, de 15 de Novembro, porque "Como dispõe" este preceito, "no caso de se entender que não se poderá conhecer do objecto de recurso, ou que a questão a decidir é simples, pode o relator proferir decisão sumária, a qual poderá consistir numa simples remissão para anterior jurisprudência do Tribunal. Ora, no processo sub iudice, não parece ter existido uma decisão sumária do Relator, mas sim um verdadeiro acórdão".

Notificado para o efeito, o recorrido respondeu que "obviamente, nada há a esclarecer".

Com efeito, basta ler o requerimento para concluir que a requerente nenhuma dúvida apresenta sobre o "sentido da decisão proferida".

Nestes termos, indefere-se o pedido de aclaração.

Custas pela requerente, fixando-se a taxa de justiça em 10 ucs.
