The Administrative Court unanimously allowed the declaratory condemnation action as a valid procedural means to claim compensation for extracontractual civil liability based on a tortious fact. The appellant, Santos, sought indemnification against the respondent, JF de Sabacheira-Tomar, arguing that the specific legal provision regarding causal nexus did not invalidate the chosen procedural vehicle. The court ruled that the cited article governs the causal link required for liability, not the suitability of the declaratory condemnation action itself.

SUMÁRIO

I - A acção declarativa de condenação é meio processual idóneo para o exercício do direito a indemnização decorrente de responsabilidade civil extracontratual fundada em facto lícito.

II - O artigo 7º, 2ª parte, do DL 48051 de 21/11/67, não tem a ver com a idoneidade do meio processual mas com o nexo causal que constitui pressuposto desse tipo de responsabilidade.
