Portuguese term or phrase: Cúmulo Jurídico
Hi! I am translating a Judgement and I do not know how to translate the term "cúmulo jurídico". I have checked some possible translations, however they did not seem adequate given the context. Any suggestions?

Here is the context:

"Dos factos provados resulta que o arguido X
foi condenado anteriormente, por acórdão transitado em julgado, nos autos de
Processo Comum n.º 6788/98.0TDLSB, da então 2ª Vara Criminal de Lisboa, na
pena de 5 (cinco) anos e 4 (quatro) meses de prisão, pela prática de um crime de
tráfico de estupefacientes cometido em Y, posteriormente englobado no
cúmulo jurídico efectuado por acórdão cumulatório transitado em julgado em Z (...)"

Concurrent sentence
Explanation:
See discussion and reference entries.

The match between cúmulo jurídico and concurrent sentence is not perfect because the US/UK judge imposes separate sentences of imprisonment for each crime and then orders that they be served concurrently, while the Portuguese judge calculates the sentença do cúmulo on the basis of what would otherwise have been the separate sentences for each offence.

Nevertheless, cúmulo jurídico = concurrent sentence is the best match, IMHO.

legal joinder


Explanation:
cumular. (pedidos, em uma ação cível) join. “These rules are invoked by a plaintiff seeking
to join several claims against a defendant, but they also may be used by defendants desiring to assert multiple counterclaims or cross-claims”.
"Dicionário de Direito, Economia e Contabilidade", Marcílio Moreira de Castro, p. 105

"In law, a joinder is the joining of two or more legal issues together. Procedurally, a joinder allows multiple issues to be heard in one hearing or trial and is done when the issues or parties involved overlap sufficiently to make the process more efficient or more fair." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joinder

Example Sentences

"With regard to the plat sponsors, the appellants do not deny their status as necessary parties but instead argue that they received sufficient actual, although informal, notice of the pendency of the action so that their legal joinder was unnecessary." https://casetext.com/case/veradale-valley-v-county-commrs

"Where the offense charged in the second count is of the nature of a corollary to the original felony, as in larceny and the receiving of stolen goods, a joinder is good; and whenever there is a legal joinder, the court may exercise its discretion as to an election." https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/3551344/state-v-link/?...

Combined sentence vs. civ. joinder of cases or crim. consolidation of actions


Explanation:
- as opposed to a joint sentencing of two or more defendants joined in a single indictment for a joint criminal enterprise.

cometido em Y ... and em julgado em Z - if both Y and Z are places.

Example sentence(s):

  • USA: Joint sentence is a sentence of two or more defendants under a joint indictment, which imposes the punishment jointly against them.

Cumulo jurídico - De acordo com o artigo 77 C.P., o concurso de crimes é punido com uma única pena.
(...)
Assim, o juiz deverá determinar a pena aplicável a cada um dos crimes que integram o concurso. Depois, deverá somar as penas concretas, e obtém o limite máximo da pena do concurso. O limite mínimo é a pena concreta mais elevada. Entre estes limites máximo e mínimo será fixada a pena única do concurso a que se refere o mencionado artigo 77.
