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

[Jean-Pierre]

What would be helpful is to specify a date by which the appeal must be submitted, rather than a time-frame.

That removes uncertainty about weekends, bank holidays and all the rest, and makes absolutely clear what must be done and when by.

The time runs from the date of the decision by the court, not from the date the ruling is published.  So the appeal must be filed by 28th May.  Or if 40 days then the 40 days falls on the 7th June, so Amaral will have until close of business on the 8th June.

Crystal-clear.

Thank you.

I think you missed the point.
If 40 days is allowed to make a submission then there is no legitimate beef against all of the allotted time being used and no reasonable accusation of  spinning it out can be made. What do you think "you have 40 days from "x date" to make your submission" means?

Oh I doubt he will take it up the line ... after all he must be desperate to get back into Court to have this horrible mistake sorted out to his satisfaction.

This post does not make any sense relative to what I posted.

...and still a child is missing. Not Amarals fault at all.

Soooo....

Has it been confirmed that he has announced that he's appealing?

I presume so.

Sixty-something pages later...

Next question: based on which arguments of law or fact?

I don't think it has yet been confirmed that he has had leave to appeal ... I believe he intends to if allowed ... so I think everything else is just our 63 page speculation.

Not bad going that ... 63 pages ... and not a dog in sight!

What is he waiting for? It is now 3 weeks, since his announcement!
Don't know why he should be searching for a lawyer, isn't his daughter one?   £4%4£ I'm sure she would give him a discount or even a Pro bono.

You did know that lawyers tend to specialise in different aspects of the law didn't you DCI.

That's why the McCanns needed Angus McBride, Michael Caplan, Adam Tudor et al.

Excellent news.

I've been interested in watching the total rising but I have been even more interested in the comments being made.

Anyone able to say what amount the appeal has attracted from Portuguese donations ... or is that still a secret?
