CURIOSITIES OF Alegato

“Alegatos” can be presented in two ways. The first is orally, when the presentation of evidence is concluded, a concept that encompasses the process that the judge carries out to verify and validate the evidence that each party has alleged before the trial is held.

The other way is in writing, which occurs when the “alegato” period is opened, or when the hearing has ended.
