Gonçalo Amaral confirms he will appeal the damages decision to higher Court.

[ferryman]

Parapono has amended post ... date when appeal lodged was 2nd of September 2015.

I had overlooked that the clock (on when an appeal decision is announced) starts ticking from the point that it is submitted, not from when the decision of the court of first-instance is handed down.

Still, Amaral had 40 calendar days (from when the first-instance judgement was made) to lodge his appeal.

End of April until the end of June would have been (roughly) 30 days, then he'd have had until about 10 July to submit his appeal.

2nd September would have been way too late.

So if he got his appeal in on time, the time-frame (for a decision) would be within the next couple of months

As I said, contact the Portuguese Appeal Court.

PT has been overhauling the management of their judicial system, with quite a few hiccups along the way. There has also been a massive backlog in civil appeals cases to deal with (dating back years), plus the fact that appeals seem to be accepted far more easily than in other jurisdictions.

This might take some time...

That is why I questioned parapono....i don't think we have any idea when this decision will be made...everything is just guesswork

[Carana]

I'd have to go wading through the civil process code again.

From memory, there are strict deadlines for submitting an appeal and the notification of acceptance / rejection.

Offhand, I can't remember whether there is a legal deadline for a verdict.

I'll have a look.

For anyone in any doubt about GFM/Stripe/Portugal, here is a Portuguese resident who set up a GFM appeal on 23/3/2016 for a genuine Portuguese charity.....supported by an account in Holland.

The 'obscenity' as you call it ferryman, is your opinion of Amaral.

Totally bonkers, first time I've seen TB accused of being anti-Amaral, but contains some info about how web payments work.

What the organisers if amarals defense fund do with the money is of no particular concern to me personally but I know a few people have raised questions, as they are entitled to do. 

There are undoubtedly some curious things - a few of the donations were odd - a couple of examples:

apparently a group of anonymous met police donated exactly £1000. 

A donation of £8000 was made twice a few days apart.



Any questions about the fund could be very easily laid to rest by publishing the bank statements showing monies in and monies out.   Why has this not been done?

Has a full and total breakdown of
fun the mccanns accounts been given, including funds from serialisation rights and other articles in the media ?

and if they have made money, how many PEOPLE can claim to have made money from the disappearance of their own child ?

Somewhat off topic Stephen - this thread is concerned with amarals appeal.  And the funding of that appeal is of course pertinent.  But an expected attempt to deflect the argument.

The mccanns fund has been formally audited by a specialist firm of chartered accountants.  I am not suggesting that amarals defence fund goes that far - just publishing a copy of the bank statement will do.  Showing dates, credits and debits.
