Law firm advances with legal action against EMEL and Lisbon City Council

Público1 September 2026 at 17:40

A law firm has filed a legal action against EMEL and the Lisbon City Council. The action aims to contest the parking company's operations in the capital.

The lawyers accuse EMEL of enforcing parking rules outside the zones and hours under its management. This accusation forms part of the legal argument presented in the case.

EMEL reacted to the accusations stating that it "has the authority to enforce parking throughout the municipality of Lisbon." This position from the company directly contradicts the allegations presented by the law firm.

The legal conflict arises following a dispute over the territorial and temporal limits of EMEL's authority to issue fines and enforce parking in the city of Lisbon.
