Legal arguments were delivered by several parties and now we await a verdict from the Judge.

Article 607 of the Portuguese Civil Process Code stipulates an indicative period of 30 days after the process is concluded by the Judge. While this is not a legal deadline but merely a recommendation, several jurists believe that this case will receive a relatively swift decision.

Judicial holidays over the Easter period (March 29-April 6, dates are inclusive) mean that no verdict will be issued during this interruption of the Courts' work.

We trust in Justice and serenely await the Judge's decision, in solidarity with Gonçalo Amaral.

For your ongoing support, we thank you very, very much.

My reading of this is that the verdict could be issued at any time.

The 30 day deadline is recommended but the Judge could announce her decision before or after that deadline.

The important information, in my reading, is that if nothing is revealed before 29 March, we won't hear anything until after 6 April.

Nothing has changed. We could get the verdict on Monday, in April, May or (God forbid) 2016. It will happen when it happens.

Hope and it needs to happen soon.

Absolutely getting sick of all this mccann crap.

================

Anything more on this costello? I don't do twitter myself so can't check.

Anyone have any idea who/what requesting on 12th March could refer to?? This could go on forever, and ever, and ever. Sad

@ bluebell

I don't use twitter either, all I do is have a look on #McCann twitter, and this morning the tweet from Debbie Law was there. It is also on Debbie Law twitter. It is a bit strange as no-one else has tweeted, so don't really know if it is correct. Although I did think it might have something to do with the meeting in Portugal last Friday? maybe Andrew can help here?

Andrew Wed 18 Mar 2015, 7:16 pm

Not on twitter myself but here is a link of that person you mentioned.... I think this who you mean....

The 70s was the decade that good taste forgot!

Poor old Demis (he died in January) was certainly in the love or hate category.

Guest Fri 27 Mar 2015, 8:38 pm

This must be the post Andrew was referring to, caricature, he mentioned he had read the verdict would be given on the 7th of April.

Guest Mon 06 Apr 2015, 6:33 pm

He may have misunderstood then.

Andrew Wed 08 Apr 2015, 8:24 am

So not the 7th then.

8th hopefully.

Want some news.

Bampots Thu 16 Apr 2015, 5:57 pm

Andrew Thu 16 Apr 2015, 8:49 pm

What was the link....

It wasn't confirmation that G.A won by any wishful chance..

Got to be imminent surely.

Andrew Tue 21 Apr 2015, 3:28 pm

Not heard an ant's fart regarding this for a while now.

What's going on.

Would of thought something would of been said/announced by now....

Patience, I know.

Guest Fri 24 Apr 2015, 11:51 am

I think we are about 17 working days after the case reached concluso,so out of the 30 recommended but not compulsory days that the Judge can be expected to deliver the verdict and associated rulings, 13 remain?

TheTruthWillOut Fri 24 Apr 2015, 1:01 pm

I'll just assume the verdict will be read on day 30 at 11:59 PM. Anything sooner being a bonus.

I remember posting a tweet from #McCann which mentioned a delay due to one of the parties requesting some information. The tweet read the 30 days would run from the 12th of March. I haven't seen any tweets since, so it may or may not be correct.

Guest Fri 24 Apr 2015, 1:21 pm

My understanding is that the 30 days started on the Friday 29th March,the second day was the 7th April following the Easter break.

TheTruthWillOut Fri 24 Apr 2015, 1:25 pm

Allowing for the 1st May public holiday in Portugal, I make that ~16th May to 30 working days?
