A defendant lodged an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against the decision of the President of the Supreme Court refusing his habeas corpus application, alleging that pre-trial detention time limits had been exceeded and his right to liberty breached, since his pending appeal to the Constitutional Court suspended his conviction. The Court declared the proceedings terminated as moot because the pre-trial detention had become imprisonment under a final sentence following Judgment No. 922/2024.
