Many of you who have been following the
trial will be aware of the fact that the
deadline for all parties to deliver
their legal arguments to the court ended
on the 26th of February.
Legal arguments were delivered by
several parties and now we await a
verdict from the Judge.
Article 607 of the Portuguese Civil
Process Code stipulates an
indicative period of 30 days after the
process is concluded by the Judge. While
this is not a legal deadline but merely
a recommendation, several jurists
believe that this case will receive a
relatively swift decision.
Judicial holidays over the Easter period
(March 29-April 6, dates are inclusive)
mean that no verdict will be issued
during this interruption of the Courts'
work.
We trust in Justice and serenely await
the Judge's decision, in solidarity with
Gonçalo Amaral.
For your ongoing support, we thank you
very, very much. |
