Continuous counting of numstat

[h4lfling]

I'm customizing ukbill to my usage. I need numstat to never reset the counter through the document.
My definition is as follows:

\RequirePackage{enumitem}
\newenvironment{numstat}%
{%
\begin{enumerate}[nosep,partopsep=0pt,
labelsep=3ex,
leftmargin=4.4em,rightmargin=0em,
label={Art. \arabic*º},
resume*]%
\item[]}%
{\end{enumerate}%
\vspace{1ex}\normalfont}%

That works. But, everytime I \begin{numstat}, there is a annoying resume„ on a blank newline before the actual numstat.
What should I do?
