COVID-19: Suspension of deadlines in the form of "anticipation" of judicial holidays

REU, Alm.del - 2019-20 - Bilag 326: Henvendelse af 26/3-20 fra Statsautoriseret revisor Jens Høgsberg Kristensen om suspension af tidsfrister i den offentlige forvaltning i forbindelse med coronakrisen

Law n.º 1-A/2020 came into force on March 19th, 2020, which, in addition to

Decree-Law n.º 10-A/2020 of March 13th, 2020, regulates a set of exceptional

and temporary measures in response to the epidemiological situation caused

by Covid-19, particularly concerning the regulation of procedural proceedings

that guide the activity of the Courts.

To face the extraordinary situation we are experiencing, the National Assembly

approved the adoption of a regime of suspension of time limits within the

scope of the proceedings and procedures that run under the terms of the

Judicial Courts, Administrative and Fiscal Courts, Constitutional Court, Court

of Auditors and other jurisdictional bodies, Arbitration Courts, Public

Prosecutor's Ofﬁce, Courts of Peace, alternative dispute resolution entities and

ﬁscal

enforcement bodies, applying to it the Judicial Vacation Regime until the

cessation of the exceptional situation of prevention, containment, mitigation

and treatment of the epidemiological infection of COVID-19, as determined by

the National Public Health Authority.

This exceptional regime, whose effects retroactively to March 13th, 2020, has

a specialty concerning the judicial vacation regime: the

suspension of time limits is extended to urgent cases except for cases in which

fundamental rights are at stakes, such as the diligences and procedural acts

related to minors at risk or to educational tutelary processes of an urgent

nature and the diligences and trials of imprisoned defendants, which continue

to "run" its terms.

This regime also extends, with the necessary adaptations, to procedures that

run under notarial and registry ofﬁces; misdemeanour, sanctioning and

disciplinary procedures, and the respective acts and proceedings that run

under the terms of direct, indirect, regional and local administration services,

and other administrative entities, namely independent administrative entities,

including the Bank of Portugal and the Securities Market Commission; and

administrative and tax deadlines that run on behalf of individuals.

Also of note is the suspension of the time limits for eviction proceedings,

special eviction procedures, and proceedings for the return of the leased

property, if the lessee may be placed in a situation of fragility and unmeasured

exposure due to the lack of own habitation. Also, and in the context of the

lease, note for the creation of an extraordinary transitory regime for the

protection of tenants that will now beneﬁt from the suspension of the effects of

the denunciations of lease agreements made by the lessor and the foreclosure

of the mortgages on real estate that constitute the owner's permanent

residence of the foreclosed.

This regime also implies the suspension of the prescription and termination

periods for all types of proceedings and procedures.

This will cease to effect on a date to be deﬁned by a Government decree, after

which the National Assembly will proceed with the adaptation of the judicial

holiday periods for the remaining year of 2020, leaving the note for a possible

readjustment, or even elimination, of the summer judicial holidays for the full

recovery of the processes suspended due to this public health crisis!

If you have any doubts as to whether the time limits for pending administrative

and judicial proceedings are suspended, and for further information on the

subject, please contact us:
