Proximity Justice in Sintra
The Union of Parishes of Sintra signed a cooperation protocol with the Arbitration Center of the Autonomous University of Lisbon (CAUAL), with a view to offering its customers a true service of proximity justice.
Now the inhabitants of Santa Maria and São Miguel, São Martinho and São Pedro de Penaferrim, find in CAUAL a true alternative to the judicial courts, being able to resolve their conflicts in a faster way, with substantially lower costs and with a greater degree of of satisfaction.
Residents in the areas covered by the protocol can submit neighborhood, consumer, hospital, work and family conflicts to CAUAL.
Conflicts will be referred to a conflict mediator, certified by the Ministry of Justice, who will help the parties to dialogue, with a view to an eventual agreement.
CAUAL wants to leave here a note of thanks to the President of the Union of Parishes of Sintra, Fernando Pereira, who from the beginning expressed interest in offering the service to the citizens and companies of the Union of Parishes that he directs.
Present at the protocol signing session, the President of the Union of Parishes of Sintra and the Director of CAUAL.
Some information sessions will now be scheduled with a view to instructing the civil servants of the Parish, so that they can provide citizens with the best clarifications on the project.
