ACÓRDÃO N.º 89/06

Processo n.º 120/01

3ª Secção

Relator: Conselheiro Vítor Gomes

Acordam, em conferência, na 3ª Secção do Tribunal Constitucional

A fls.124, na sequência de notificação para constituir advogado a que o recorrente não deu satisfação, foi decidido não tomar conhecimento do pedido de suspensão da instância e julgar extinto o presente recurso de constitucionalidade, nos termos das disposições conjugadas do n.º 1 do artigo 83.º da LTC e do artigo 33.º do Código de Processo Civil.

Vem agora o recorrente A. reclamar para a conferência, ao abrigo do disposto no artigo 78.º-B, n.º 2, da Lei do Tribunal Constitucional.

Não tendo o recorrente constituído mandatário, resta ao Tribunal confirmar o despacho reclamado.

Assim, indefere-se a reclamação, confirmando-se o despacho reclamado.

Custas pelo reclamante, fixando-se a taxa de justiça em 20 (vinte) unidades de conta.
