CASE LAW

Administrative justice. Appeal by a professional association of the magistrates against a judgment of the plenary formation of the Superior Council of Magistracy that ordered a promotion as a judge to the High Court of Cassation and Justice. Lack of interest

Professional rank recognition. The Superior Council of Magistracy may not be ordered to recognise a superior professional rank following an examination held by another body and whose results were not used inside the legal period

Justice trainees. Lack of a legal basis for a request by a justice trainee, that was not promoted during a graduation session of the National Institute of Magistracy, to order the institution to hold a new graduation session and to resume the payment of a training grant

Assistant magistrates. Interpretation of provisions of the Act No. 92/1992 and of the Act No. 56/1993 in force on the date of appointment as assistant magistrate that held that by mere fulfilment of the length-of service condition the applicants should be given by law the professional degree as Court of Appeal judge runs counter to the legal framework that regulates the promotion of judges and prosecutors.
