Here's an opportunity to make a prediction Davel.
Will Duarte lodge an appeal to the Supreme Court?
Then, in less than 30 days time, we'll see if you were right.
BTW my prediction is : No.

[carlymichelle]

i just read that  portugal  supreme courts will not even think about entertaining  civil squabbles  in this  case

[Mr Gray]

Maybe yes, maybe no.

That's all it says.

#but it is not wrong ..is it

When many were saying that amaral didn't have a chance...remember... I had the insight...intelligence...call it what you will...to realise he just might win his appeal

Now the mccanns are totally humiliated all around the world.

And Madeleine McCann is once again prominently in public focus.

Will Goncalo Amaral sue all those supporters who have posted  free English translations of his book online, breaching copyright & depriving him of income?

Now it would be a bit of a bummer if that were true, but surely the all knowing Isabel wouldn't make such an elementary mistake, would she ?

The Supreme Court of Justice is designated the "highest court of law," but "without prejudice to the jurisdiction of the Constitutional Court," and heads the court system that deals with civil and criminal cases. The courts of first instance (the first courts to try a case) are the municipal and district courts; the courts of second instance are, as a rule, courts of appeal. As of the early 1990s, there were four of these latter courts. The Supreme Court of Justice may serve as a court of first instance in some cases and as an appeals court in others.
