No. The McCanns have filed nothing. Lets rearrange the sentence.

Gonçalo Amaral's appeal (in the civil case that has been presented against him by the McCann family) has been filed this morning.

The important information is in bold. The information in brackets is just a description of what the appeal is about.

Yes.

OK

Thank you for that.

Come now, Misty.  Lawyers gotta eat....

I'm just wondering how Amaral's going to eat - or does he get meal allowances for waiting time under the definition of expenses?

I don't really think we need concern ourselves with that.

Amaral enjoys a pension which is about 17% above the average income for a Portuguese family.

So now we've got syntax out of the way, where is there independent corroboration that Amaral's grounds of appeal have been accepted?

And why was he allowed to submit after the deadline for appeals?

ETA: The other point that's not clear is whether his submission has been accepted, or whether it is still under consideration.

If it was filed (late!) this morning, then it is presumably still under consideration ....

It's not clear while "filed" actually means. There was the 5-day clarification period beyond the initial timeframe to take into account (whether or not it was needed in this case) and which has now expired.

And therefore if notice of a dismissal of the appeal hasn't been received by this expiry date, then it would seem logical to assume that it has been accepted.

Surely you realize he wouln't be allowed to file an appeal, if the period he was allowed to do it had expired ?

So, what's next: 30 - 40 days for the McCanns to rebut the grounds, plus the 5-day clarification period?

Does the judge only write her legal opinion once she has both in hand? Or is her legal opinion based solely on the contents of the appellant's submission?

I amended my post to make it clearer.

No doubt there will be confirmation in the mainstream press that Amaral has been allowed his appeal.

Won't there?

I imagine the Portuguese press will report and would be very surprised if they failed to do so.
"All I'm going to say is that we've conducted a very serious investigation and there's no indication that Madeleine McCann's parents are connected to her disappearance. On the other hand, we have a lot of evidence pointing out that Christian killed her," Wolter told the "Friday at 9"....
