The Tribunal dos Conflitos declared the case competent for the common civil courts, resolving a negative jurisdictional conflict between three civil courts and the Lisbon Court of Appeal. The plaintiffs sought indemnification from a municipal council based on Civil Code articles 483 and 486 without alleging any public management act. The court ruled that without such an allegation, the matter falls exclusively within the jurisdiction of ordinary civil tribunals rather than administrative bodies.
