Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appeal against the first-instance ruling was admissible despite lacking conclusions and reasons.
Decisão extraída
No. A declaration of appeal without a motivated brief filed within ten days of receiving the challenged judgment is manifestly inadmissible.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 425 para. 1 CPP, a party that files only a declaration of appeal must submit a motivated brief within ten days of receiving the full judgment. Counsel received the judgment on 2010-04-27 but filed no supplementary brief within the time limit, so the court could not enter into the matter.
