2. The court office must also communicate to the registry office:

2 - A secretaria deve igualmente comunicar à conservatória:

#

a) Any withdrawal or abandonment of the proceedings;

a) A desistência ou deserção da instância;

#

b) The fact that the proceedings have been at a standstill for more than 30 days owing to the claimant’s inaction.

What we checked in this article

The communication after the decision becomes final and the two further events to be communicated (withdrawal or abandonment; standstill of more than 30 days) are retained.

Registering an act under Article 107?

We file registrations at the commercial registry for foreign-owned companies: incorporations, share transfers, manager changes, capital changes, branches, filing of accounts and closures. In English, fixed fees, with the registry fee shown separately.

Unofficial English translation prepared by BCA Portugal for reference. Only the Portuguese text published in the Diário da República has legal force. Editorial notes are ours and are not part of the statute.

Applying the law

Registry work in Portugal, done right the first time

A refused or provisional registration costs weeks. We prepare the documents the registrar expects, file them and follow the application until it is definitive.
