Unofficial summary in English. The judgment is published in Portuguese only, and only the Portuguese text is authentic.
The Voz do Povo coalition filed a complaint against Judgment No. 11/08, which had rejected its candidacy for the legislative elections of 5 September 2008, arguing that the defects could be remedied and that it had received a notice to remedy them. The Court dismissed the complaint because the coalition had not submitted intelligible candidate lists, holding that allowing a remedy would amount to accepting a new application out of time, contrary to the principles of legality and equality.
