Moreover, as evidenced in pgs copy. 2158 and 2159 (reqto of the authors of January 23, 2015) those plaintiffs have since July 16, 2010, a decision of the same court for the minor Madeleine figure as an author in the action against the four defendants.
Having these data present, there will be deemed remedied the representation of misdemeanors in accordance with article 29 of the Civil Procedure Code and therefore reject the objection raised by the defendant Goncalo Amaral.

Remain valid assumptions of timely appreciated instance, not befallen, or subsisting exceptions, annulments or previous issues that prevent the appreciation of the merits of the case.

Moreover, the supposed abductor could only pass in this window, with the least a different position (vertical) to the witness JANE TANNER visualized (horizontally);

However, despite the national authorities have taken all measures to enable them to travel to Portugal, for reasons that are unknown, after several times being clarified the many doubts raised about the need and opportunity of his visit, chose not attend what prevented diligence.
We have to us that the losers were the main McCann defendants, who have lost the ability to prove what since its constitution as defendants have protested: his innocence against the fateful event; also remained hindered the investigation, because such facts were unclear. (...)
This denotes that the parents were not persistently concerned about the children who were not going to make your check and after performing declared before neglected, but not reckless or grossly, the guard duty of the same children. (...)

It is a fact that Madeleine disappeared from the apartment 5th the "Ocean Club", since it is not the manner and circumstances in which this happened - despite the very many steps taken in this direction - keeping untouchable indicted the range of crimes and referred to throughout the Inquiry. (...)
As regards the other charged crimes are just that and even despite it appears to not be the rule, given its high degree of probability, checking a homicide, so it can not move from mere supposition by lack of support elements in the record .
The non-involvement of the accused parents of Madeleine in any relevant criminal action it appears from the objective circumstances they are not in the apartment at the time of his disappearance, in its normal behavior adopted by this disappearance and later as largely stems from the testimony of witnesses, the analysis of telephone communication and also the findings of the investigations, particularly the reports of the FSS and the Institute of Forensic Medicine.
To this adds that in fact none of the signs which led to its

"Introductory note
This book arises from the need I felt to restore my good name, which was soiled in the public square, without the institution to which he belonged for 26 years, the Portuguese Judicial Police, has allowed to defend myself or to do so institutionally. Asked permission to speak in this sense, application of which never got answer. Strict compliance with the regulations of the Judicial Police, I kept silent. This, however, was heartbreaking for my dignity.
I was later removed from the investigation. I understood then that it was time to make my public defense. To do this, immediately asked the retirement, in order to restore the fullness of my freedom of expression.
This book also has a higher purpose. The contribute to the discovery material truth and the realization of justice in the investigation known as 'Maddie Case'. These are fundamental values ​​which forced me imperative of conscience, conviction and discipline to the institution to which I was proud to belong. These same values ​​did not die out with my retirement and continue to be ever present in my life.
Under no circumstances the book calls into question the work of my colleagues in the Judiciary Police, or compromise the ongoing investigation. It is my deep understanding that revelation in a work of this kind all the facts could compromise determining future measures to ascertain the truth. However, the reader will find data that ignores, interpretations of the facts - always under the law - and, of course, relevant questions.
A criminal only commits to the search for truth material. One should not worry about political correctness. [Pp. 11-12]

Much has been said so far - truths and lies, is watching, along with the duty of information, disinformation campaigns aimed at discrediting the developed criminal investigation and those responsible for it. For me the investigation was dead from 2 October 2007, when it seemed to have avenged a new English ultimatum on the same day in which was discussed the Lisbon Treaty and therefore has nothing admired me. In recent times he had seen another media spectacle, forcing a last for the abduction theory, with the disclosure by the McCann family of a photo-fit of a suspected kidnapper. Already nothing surprises me.
- Do not mind. It is Carnival.
We proceed with small talk, but I felt I definitely my world had collapsed like that.
After hanging up, I looked back at the almond trees, planted in the Algarve hard ground, ground that it may have played a role in the concealment strategy of a corpse and thought, God would not have precipitated to make them bloom in winter? [P. 16]

An investigation to file
I have a feeling that with that statement the national director intends to prepare public opinion for the inevitable, ie, the end of the investigation and the proceedings indeed be archived. This seemed to be the strategy adopted on 2 October 2007, which has consolidated with the realization of steps to meet calendar, a little window dressing. I feared it was soon called into question the research undertaken hitherto, in order to facilitate an eventual filing. This research had been wearing the image of the Judicial Police, its researchers and Portugal, and perhaps it would have to end.
The constitution of Kate Healy and Gerald McCann, Madeleine's parents, as defendants should have been the turning point in the relationship between the police and the couple involved. If, as the Portuguese police, the break happened, it does not seem to be able to say with regard to the English police. There was an understanding between both police to move in a research direction that seriously faced the possibility of the child's death occurred in the apartment but suddenly the English police inflectiu the course without coherent technical explanation - as we shall see. It caused us always strange how the couple were treated, even after its incorporation as a defendant, and the police information that eventually had access.
Mentally, I'm reviewing research, memories spring in cascade.

I think mainly that child that shortly before four years saw, abruptly, denied their right to existence, women make up the potential life of happiness and success in the company of family and friends, who abruptly He lost. Nothing makes sense. Seems to be cooked a smothering of the facts, decreasing the strength of any kind of evidence, forgetting that rights and other children. But who want this result? Who demanded my way out of the operational coordination of research? Those who want the end of the status of McCann and Murat as defendants? Those who insist on abduction theory? Those who claimed, and later say who they are, which had much less have arrested people in England? Or those who insist on the lie forgetting the search for truth stuff? The one-there to serve the eventual filing of the investigation and the end of the investigations.
After my departure from Portimão on 2 October 2007, it had decided to forget the case. It might be better, given the powers that seem to be involved.
If the home country authorities of child little wonder what happened to him, feeding the thesis of abduction, because I'll have to worry about? There will be a preposterous statement (or induced by the interviewer) a director of police will be able to delete the existing evidence (also will not have been said with that intention), our work is enshrined in the records. Only destroying them is that you can delete the record of what was done and even then, we are left with our memories and those who led us over the arduous task of trying to find the truth material.

The wisdom of a decision
Back in Portimão, against the chief inspector Tavares de Almeida, who was part of the team that coordinated. We know each other from the time we enter the criminal police. Is concerned about the words of the national director, speaks of an inquiry that has already requested the National Criminal Police Directorate. For him, the inquiry into our work will restore the truth.
- During the five months that kept us in the investigation, we hear a little of everything, but we were doing our job.

We recall what we did, with much effort and, honestly, we doubt that others could have done better. It is not conceit, is confidence in the rigor of the work of all involved police professionals:
- Hear! This guys do not know how to count? How can one speak of rainfall when the couple was accused constituted four months after the facts. They do not know the principle of non self-incrimination?
Referred to the legal impossibility of continuing to take statements from anyone, as a witness, so that it will publicize facts that may incriminate. Ie when someone is to testify about a particular case and, at some point, it appears that citizens have a possible involvement or responsibility in the commission of any unlawful act consists accused. With that citizens have rights and duties. Interestingly, and contrary to what one sees so often written in the press, especially the English, the defendant wins protection with the possibility to refer to silence without thereby commit a crime of misrepresentation - as would be the case if still remained as a witness.
- I agree with you. For errors in research this is one of them. The delay in carrying out the constitution of the couple as accused. There was more political and police less.
- Well, I would not say much. The error was that we treated the couple "with tweezers." We know that very early on we saw that a lot did not beat right and they were treated with privileges. That's not normal! [P. 23]
- Maybe the national director think that the couple just left the Algarve to have been made defendants.
- The couple became the Algarve, as he spoke of the abduction theory ...
where this thesis was called into question soon they began to talk about returning to England.
- It follows that its constitution as defendants was a false pretext to leave our country.
- You know !? There were British journalists who considered Portugal a country of the Third World ... disagreed and still disagree, however, only a Third World country is moving away responsible for a criminal investigation in progress, without it had been called into question by research leading.
- There is much talk in governmentalization justice ... forget the way they can influence any criminal ...

It is necessary to oppose the dubious situations and contrary to the interest of the investigation. They can not agree on everything just to be clinging to power ...

Fraud or breach of trust?
In a moment of relax in one of these meetings, I have made a slip or, perhaps, I will have been inappropriate and undiplomatic. Concerned about the possibility of the McCann couple to be somehow involved in the disappearance of his daughter, and when he reasoned in the types of crime that they could have practiced, I realized a fact. If we really were to confirm any liability of the couple McCann, then it might be concerned regarding the fund created for the search for Madeleine, which reached more than 2 million pounds a crime of fraud or breach of trust. Then opened the debate and, indeed, with the given assumptions, the crimes of aggravated fraud or breach of trust could exist, but Portugal does not have jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute for such a crime. This would belong to the United Kingdom by the fund is registered in that country. The British colleagues have realized then a hard reality: the strong possibility of having to investigate a crime in their country, with the possible suspects the McCanns, which seemed to please them too. Having me aware of a sudden pallor on the face of the British present. [P. 193]

Here arrivals mind doing a deductive synthesis on this case. That is, reject what is false; away what can not be proved, for insufficient; give as valid and bought it that it has established.
Thus:
1.- The abduction theory is defended from the outset by the parents of Maddie;
2.- Within the group, only their parents say they have noticed an open window in the room of the missing girl; most can not witness it faithfully to have already flocked to the apartment after being given the alarm;
3. The only external testimony to the group referring to the open window and raised the blinds, is to Amy, one of the teachers of the Ocean Club, pointing to his observation to around the 22.20 / 22.30, so pretty after being given the alarm and not proving so that was open at the time of occurrence of the crime;
4. The set of depositions and testimonies reveal a high number of inaccuracies, inconsistencies and contradictions - which can be typified in some cases, such as false testimony. In particular, the testimony key to the thesis of abduction, of Jane Tanner, loses all credibility for having evolved successively over several times, becoming ambiguous and disqualifying;
6. There is not found corpse, finding validated by English dogs EVRD and CSI and corroborated by preliminary laboratory reports. [Pp. 219-220] "[I point) of undisputed].
24. The defendant Goncalo Amaral found in the book "Maddie, The Truth of the Lie" as follows:
"For me and for researchers who worked with me in the case by October 2007, the results we have reached are as follows:
1. The minor Madeleine McCann died in apartment 5a of the Ocean Club, in Vila da Luz on the night of May 3, 2007;
2. There has been a kidnapping simulation;
3. Kate Healy and Gerald McCann are suspected of involvement in hiding the corpse of his daughter;
4. Death may have befallen a result of a tragic accident.
5.Existem evidence of negligence in guarding and security of the children [pp. 220-221] "[paragraph J) of the undisputed].

"Correio da Manhã - What is your thesis, as an investigator of the case?
Gonçalo Amaral - A girl died in the apartment. It's all in the book, which is true to the investigation until September: reflects the understanding of Portuguese, English police and prosecutors. For all of us, until there were proven: the concealment of the corpse, kidnapping simulation and exposure to abandonment. "
Correio da Manhã - What led him to indict the McCanns for all these crimes?
Gonçalo Amaral - It all starts in a kidnapping theory forced by their parents. And kidnapping is based on two facts: one is the testimony of Jane Tanner, who says he saw a man go ahead apartment with a child in her arms; the other is the bedroom window which, according to Kate, was open when it should be closed. It has been proven that none of this happened.
Morning Mail - How do you proved?
Gonçalo Amaral - Jane Tanner is not credible: identifies and recognizes different people. Start by Murat later spoken to another person, the drawing made by a witness, and she says that is that, quite unlike Robert Murat.
Correio da Manhã - The testimony of Jane Tanner guided the abduction theory.
Gonçalo Amaral - To move around had to give him credit: nothing gave grounds for suspecting the abduction. And the question of the bedroom window, where Maddie and her siblings were sleeping, is central. It leads to the simulation. That is, whether he was open when Jane says she saw the man child in her arms. The girl's mother, Kate, is the only one to speak at the open window.
Correio da Manhã - This dismounts the abduction theory?
Gonçalo Amaral - Here's the solution. Or may not be closed strongly suggests simulation. And why it is simulated abduction and does not say that the child disappeared?
You may have opened the door and left ...
Correio da Manhã - Fingerprints Kate reinforce the simulation thesis?
Gonçalo Amaral - are the only fingerprints on the window. And in position so as to open the window. (...)

RIGHT
 I. Initiating the discussion in a logical and chronological order by book analysis, reference is immediately established that there is no question of a written informative content.

In fact, not in the book the story, stripped and simple, the facts of the investigation that ran terms for the clearance of the circumstances of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann lower on May 3, 2007, in which case no added value it would bring to partial copy of the investigation that the Attorney General's Office did distribute for Social Communication after the closure of an investigation (paragraphs 65 and 66 of proven actuality).
The book is the expression of opinion, including the account of the lessons that the person who removes the means of obtaining evidence produced in research in order to formulate a thesis, a check hypothesis of the facts.
The thesis is synthetically that there was a kidnapping of the minor, contrary to what was the initial premise of the criminal investigation and that the child's parents maintain to the present. It was rather the accidental death of children in the tourist resort of the apartment, then cover up this event by concealment of his corpse and simulation of that crime, carried out by the authors Gerald and Kate McCann.
Traversed the book's text is to research conducted by days since the news of crime, stressing its author, the purpose of each advance of the timeline, the various indications offered in the sense of that argument - among others, lack of room break-in signs and strange fingerprints users of the apartment (pp. 44 and 48), the presence of the press prompted by the group of friends of the couple (p. 48), that the key witness Jane Tanner affirming the sighting of the "pseudo-raptor" (sic) when two other players in the same place, saw nothing (p. 51), the inconsistencies of testimony and inconsistencies such evidence between

other (pp. 53, 57, 59, 144), the testimony of Smith family (p. 115) and the evidence collected by the team of canine (p. 157, 162, 167).
A first conclusion is that if the book is a hypothesis verification of the facts or the opinion of the author on how the evidence collected in the investigation should be read, it is unnecessary to speak of falsehood, untrue facts, and have not, the best opinion, no place discussing the "exceptio veritatis".
The means of obtaining evidence and the evidence referred to in the book are those of the criminal investigation and the results demonstrated that purpose that the facts that he is concerned (as well as those referred to in the documentary and interview) when relating to criminal investigation, They are mostly events that took place or documented in the survey (No. 80 proved the matter).

It is argued, therefore, in action, in our view, the right of opinion of the defendant in that context.
 
1. The minor Madeleine McCann died in apartment 5a of the Ocean Club, in Vila da Luz on the night of May 3, 2007;
 2. There has been a kidnapping simulation;

3. Kate Healy and Gerald McCann are suspected of involvement in hiding the corpse of his daughter;
 4. Death may have befallen a result of a tragic accident.
5.Existem evidence of negligence in the guard and safety of children "(# 24, emphasis added).
The interview given by Gonçalo Amaral accused the newspaper "Correio da Manhã" and was taken to the edition of July 24, 2008 is a way to advertise the book and hence the thesis in the same expended. Here the defendant reaffirms that thesis in so many propositions as many questions put to him: 1 "the girl died in the apartment"; 3. there is evidence of crime simulation;
The film develops that opinion more appealing way, as befits the audiovisual support, giving it an appearance of police reconstruction of the facts.

It is the defendant Gonçalo Amaral says that while narrator at the beginning of the program: "(...) In the next 50 minutes I will prove that the child was not abducted and who died in the holiday apartment in Praia da Luz" (No. 41, emphasis added).
In the documentary, this thesis is clearly stated as a contravention of abduction hypothesis, as the real alternative to this and shelve the investigation for lack of evidence. A death that many people want to cover up ", ending the defendant to conclude" I am sure of this fact [the Madeleine McCann died in the apartment] will one day be found. The research was brutally interrupted and there was a political archiving and precipitate.
 
That, it appears, meaning that the average reader gives the title "Maddie Truth of the Lie", with the "truth" the thesis of the book and a "lie" the version of the abduction.
 
This theory of the facts comes from own research, is shaped in the Chief Inspector Tavares de Almeida's report (No. 9), it was a line pursued by the investigation (paragraphs 10 and 11) provides for the establishment of the authors Gerald and Kate McCann as suspects and It was placed within the reach of Social Communication, and soon the general public through the provision of inquiry copy (paragraphs 65 and 66).
 
There are one aspect that stands out in this comparison and it is the particular relationship between the defendant Gonçalo Amaral and research.

The defendant is not referred to the investigation as a mere commentator "fait divers" criminal, a writer of police intrigues or a criminologist.
II. In the action of the heart is one practical situation of conflict between the rights to the good name and reputation of the authors Gerald and Kate McCann (crossed by the presumption of innocence that never failed to qualify) and freedom of expression of the accused Gonçalo Amaral, the concrete shed the right to view watching him.
 
 
The harmonization criteria of the various rights enshrined results of its artº 29, paragraph 2, to stipulate that "the exercise of these rights and the enjoyment of these freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely to promote the recognition and respect the rights and freedoms of others and to meet the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society.

The same Convention establishes in paragraph 2 of its article 6 of the cornerstones of companies governed by the principles of democratic rule of law, stating that "Any person charged with an offense is presumed innocent until his guilt has not been legally proven."

However, at the same fundamental law and equal dignity, if trust, in article 37, freedom of expression, preceituando its paragraph 1 that "everyone has the right to freely express and disseminate his thoughts by words, images or by any other means, as well as the right to inform, to inform and be informed without hindrance or discrimination.

In this regard, we read in the Judgment of February 7, 2008 "[The] ECHR position, it seems result a levy in thinking. There is no justification to think, at the outset, on whether a journalistic piece offends someone. It should rather start from the freedom enjoyed or the respective owners.

In a broad sense, also includes the good name and reputation, while syntheses of social appreciation for determining qualities of uniqueness of each individual in intellectual moral plane, sexual, family, professional or political "[The Personality General Law, 1995, p.
It is based on individual awareness of self-worth: a self-recognition and self-assessment ". According to the same author, "the law protects, however, not only that personal feeling of self-worth, which can call up the internal honor, but above the projection in the social consciousness of all the personal values ​​of each individual, which You can call external honor: the qualities necessary for a person to be respected in a social environment, including good name and reputation, social consideration "[Ob.

The protection of rights of authors to their good name and reputation is in the case, closely related to the presumption of innocence.
The authors Gerald and Kate McCann were made defendants in the criminal investigation, having a status that their rights of guarantee function (though thus not be interpreted by the general public) ceased with the closure of the investigation and the corresponding order completed: No achieved any evidence enabling a middle man, according to the criteria of logic, normality and the general rules of experience, make any lucid, sensible, serious and honest conclusion about the circumstances which saw the removal of the child apartment, or stating, even, consistent prognosis and including - the most dramatic - where is still alive or are dead, as seems more likely.

filing of notices as defendants Gerald Patrick McCann and Kate Marie Healy, for there is no evidence of them having committed any crime "(No. 15).
The European Court of Human Rights case law the principle of presumption of innocence imposes a standard of conduct for all agents, officers and magistrates involved in the administration of criminal justice.
It not only prohibits the premature expression by the tribunal itself of the opinion the person "charged with a criminal offense" is guilty before he has proved so goods According to the law, but Also covers statements made by other public officals about pending criminal investigations Which Encourage the public to believe the suspect guilty and prejudge an assessment of the facts by the court Competent authority "[HUDOC, emphasis added].
In Case Allen co UK the court emphasized the importance of the presumption after acquittal or the filing of criminal investigation, explaining that this principle prevents suspects or defendants in such circumstances be treated as if they were in fact responsible for the criminal offenses of which they were accused and stressing that without this second level of protection - the level of full respect for acquittal or archiving - the presumption of innocence is quedará illusory or merely ideal.
Similarly, the presumption of innocence requires that the absence of guilt emanating from it is respected, after the acquittal or archiving in all judicial proceedings of any nature and by any authority coming into contact with these facts [idem Allen c .
In the case, Kate and Gerald McCann authors never ceased to benefit from presumption of innocence and the imperative of behavior that it puts on the national enforcement and judicial authorities and all its employees and agents.

"The Judicial Police is an upper body criminal police assist the administration of justice, organized hierarchically depending on the Minister of Justice and supervised under the law" [article 1 of the Organic Law of the Judicial Police, approved by Decree-Law No. 275- A / 2000 of November 9, as amended by Decree-Law No. 235/2005, of 30 December, then in force].

Reportedly the Opinion of the Attorney General's Advisory Council of the Republic of February 16, 2006 (Esteves Medicine, in www.ministeriopublico.pt): "The legal relationship of retirement is, in the comparison with the legal public employment relationship, a relationship less intense where there is a blurring of the ties between the retired and the Administration, translated in the reduction of rights and duties. It is still a "bond to the civil service", which materializes in conserving the titles and the category of the position held and the rights and duties that are not dependent on activity status "(emphasis added). It was concluded in the same opinion - "Retired remains subject to private conduct of duties, including abstention translated into practice integrators facts of crimes that have a relevant connection with the functions previously carried out and thus affect the actual way the operation of severe or service in order to dignity and the prestige of the role or the Administration "(idem). Bearing in mind that legal mosaic, how to solve the conflict in this case between the rights of authors Gerald and Kate McCann to his good name and reputation and the defendant's right Gonçalo Amaral to your opinion as an emanation of freedom of expression watching you?
It appears that the conflict should be solved with the fact data that are present from the outset and that reveal the special condition of the accused face criminal investigation, this condition, which capitalizes himself in the book, the interview and documentary.

In the book it conveys that the survey truth is merely formal, while the author (that would meet at the end of the line of inquiry that has been continued until the removal of that) is the material truth - "This book still has a purpose greater.
There is no doubt that is the proper defendant who calls its former coordinator condition of criminal investigation and it is through this statute book, the interview and the documentary are distinguished - by qualifying - the opinion of television commentators, writers or other theme glossators.
But at least in our view, can not but be the same status to mark the limits of the freedom of the defendant's expression when compared to those others.

None of the other authors suffered, in our opinion, any direct damage to such facts.

The authors Sean and Amelie had no contact with these events (No 84) and at the potential of this happens reflexively suffer depending on the offense committed in the sphere of their parents. The national civil protection law does not, in principle, reflects damage (the judgment of Standardization of Jurisprudence of 16 January 2014, drawn up in case 6430 / 07.0TBBRG.S1 clearly demonstrates the exceptional nature of such protection).
There will therefore be proven to compensate the damage done within the parameters of paragraph 4 of article 496º of the Civil Code, those who are harmed by the defendant's conduct - the authors Gerald and Kate McCann.
The criterion to be followed in determining the "quantum" of the compensation is equity, should be considered the degree of Lesante's fault, the seriousness of the offense and, because particularly relevant in this case, the value of benefits earned by one with the offense.
The offense committed to the good name of the injured had very wide dissemination (paragraphs 27, 28, 30 and 47), having been the subject of intense media coverage both in Portugal and in the UK.

In light of these vectors, it is deemed appropriate and proportionate compensation petitioned by those authors, which is Euro 250,000.00 (two hundred and fifty thousand euros) for each, to be added under paragraph 3 of article 805º code Civil, default interest at the statutory rate of civil interest, from the date of Gonçalo Amaral defendant's quote for action (January 5, 2010 -. fl ​​151) until full payment.
 
Civil law protects the future damage "since predictable", which, if they are not immediately ascertainable, will be settled at a later decision (article 564º, paragraph 2 of the Civil Code). The foundation of this part of the application is not made up of predictable future damage (for which nothing has been proven) but merely hypothetical or potential damages, which can not succeed.
There is no question in action the application of the press law.
Nevertheless, paragraph 2 of article 70 of the Civil Code provides that regardless of liability that may arise, the court may order, on offense situations of personality, "appropriate action to the circumstances" in particular in order to "mitigate the effects of the offense has been committed."
The measure at issue, though suitable in theory, is not, as it appears necessary in this case.
The authors have watched them a professional structure of communication and media that makes redundant any such measure (paragraphs 67, 68, 68, 70, 71 and 77).

Comes even petitioned the payment by the defendant Goncalo Amaral, the fees of Trustees of the authors (paragraph 6 of petitionary).
Outside this regime only two legal cases include the desired payment: a litigation in bad faith, without application obviously in support of application in question and the pre-existing bargaining agreement containing an obligation (as it happens, eg in contract loan to finance the purchase of housing).
Since neither of the two hypotheses is true, the petitioned this part will have to be dismissed.
So in concluding summary, the action brought by the authors Kate, Gerald, Madeleine, Sean and Amelie McCann against the defendant Goncalo Amaral partially carry the requests of the first two plaintiffs and improcederão as a whole, the requests of others.

Examples of gross negligence, for that purpose, reckless or bold deal (the part, though convinced of his reason, incurs gross error, filing a suit action or defense with disregard for serious reasons of fact or law which compromised his claim); the demand on a whim, with emulation spirit or gross error; the wanton or reckless deal; the serious lack of duty of care; the claim or defense clearly unviable, which constitute the abuse of the right of action;

Bad faith of the party who litigates claims, but does not prove, a version that is contradictory submitted by the counterparty if proving, however, that this includes facts that the first personally knew [cfr. Judgment of the Supreme Court of 7.10.2004, Laura Leonardo, accessible www.dgsi.pt].
 
 
It is therefore bad-faith deny essential facts that necessarily has to be personal knowledge [cfr. Judgment of Supreme Court of 20.9.2007, Maria Pizarro Beauty, accessible on the same website].
In the assessment of fácticos assumptions for the conviction of a party as bad faith litigant, the judge can only take into account their conduct inter process, but no longer their behavior before the action was entered into judgment [cfr.
Considering the premises of bad-faith and beyond what resulted from incidental condemn the accused Gonçalo Amaral in the order of May 20, 2014 (pgs. 2024-2026), there is nothing to reproach in this seat.
