Is Deepl’s translation of the DN story correct? And is DN correct in that claim?
A partir desta quarta-feira, 19 de novembro, os juízes do Palácio Ratton dispõem de um prazo máximo de 25 dias corridos para proferir decisão.
Deepl PT>EN:
Starting this Wednesday, 19 November, the judges at the Ratton Palace have a maximum of 25 calendar days to issue a decision.
Pure calendar days would be Sunday, 14 December.
Whereas PT ‘work days’ (skipping weekends + 3 holidays in Dec.) would take us to Monday, 29 December.
Google tells me:
- Deadlines for the Court (e.g., issuing a judgment): Often counted in calendar days (dias de calendário), and for the Constitutional Court’s acórdão (judgment), the LOTC (Lei Orgânica do Tribunal Constitucional) sets this specific 25-day time frame.
- This 25-day period is for the drafting and signing of the final written judgment after the court has reached its decision.
- For urgent matters or specific types of proceedings (like preventative review of constitutionality), the deadlines for the various procedural steps, including the drafting of the judgment, can be shorter or subject to different rules.
