Questão jurídica principal
Whether the criminal cassation complaint was filed in time despite an initially mistaken delivery and oral misinformation by the court
Decisão extraída
The deadline started only with the later personal delivery because the defendant was entitled to rely on the incorrect court information until his protected reliance was extinguished; the complaint was timely.
Fundamentação extraída
A party should not suffer a disadvantage from erroneous official legal information. The defendant, inexperienced in court matters, could rely on the incorrect oral advice. Since his trust was only defeated after the original correct deadline had already expired, the earlier receipt could not trigger the filing period.
