The above-mentioned decision of the Supreme Court occurs in a context of disagreement in legal theory and practice with regard to the appointment now for later of a support administrator between those,23,25-27 for whom an existing state of incapacity represents a constituent prerequisite for the administration of support, as judicial proceedings can only be actual and concurrent with the needs for which the support measure is being requested and those,28-33,24 who in contrast hold that a now for later appointment is possible, deeming that a literal, restrictive interpretation of the legislation would render meaningless the innovative scope of Law No. 6 of 2004, preventing the rapid protection of an individual in the event, for example, of a sudden infirmity happening to this person, by asserting that the requirement that the state of incapacity should exist is a pre-requisite in order to bring about the effects of the protection measures, and not a prerequisite for its institution.
