Note(s):
(1) Some values were rectified from 2007 to 2013. Criminal proceedings do not include proceedings for the execution of sentences, transgressions, appeals against infringement proceedings and other criminal proceedings. From 2007, the statistical data on cases in courts of first instance began to be collected from the computer system of courts, representing the position of cases registered in the system - series break.
(2) The average duration of completed cases corresponds to the time that elapses between the day the case enters the court and the day a final decision is reached (judgment, sentence or decision). The transferred cases, attached, incorporated or joined to other procedures as well as those sent to another entity or identified as "NS - Not specified" are not comprised in the given data.
Totals include residual cases in extinct courts for which data corrections are pending before transferring procedures.
(3) Due the implementation of Law No. 62/2013, August 26th (Judicial System Organization Law), applied from September 1st, onwards, this indicator was discontinued as consequence of the breaking series.
