Marta Duarte, Partner at CCA Law Firm, writes an opinion piece for Jornal de Negócios on the state of justice in Portugal after a controversy over alleged bias in the distribution of cases in the Court of Appeal of Lisbon, alongside other cases that tarnish Portuguese justice.
"More than challenging legal principles, what has been made public calls into question the credibility of justice in Portugal, emphasizing the idea that there is justice for the rich and justice for the poor, in which the rich and the powerful influence, in fact, the decisions which are taken by the Portuguese courts", explains Marta Duarte.
