Unofficial summary in English. The judgment is published in Portuguese only, and only the Portuguese text is authentic.
The representative of the Patriotic Front coalition (PDLA and PSDA) lodged a complaint against Judgment No. 8/2008, which had rejected the coalition's candidacy for the 2008 legislative elections, arguing that the Court should have ordered the defects to be remedied. The Court dismissed the complaint, because the coalition had submitted no lists of candidates in any constituency and allowing rectification would amount to extending the mandatory deadline; the missing material was never supplied.
