The Tribunal dos Conflitos declared the civil jurisdiction of Alcobaca competent to hear the case, rejecting the opposing argument that administrative tribunals had exclusive authority. The Ministry of Public Prosecution requested this declaration, while the Tribunal da Comarca of Alcobaca initially opposed it based on specific administrative regulations. The court ruled that no specific administrative law contradicts the general procedural principle in Article 177 of the Civil Procedure Code, which mandates sending precatory letters to the court within the relevant territorial area.
