Legislator summary

AI generated

The Municipality of Bombarral sought to impose a fine on Ortecnica for failing to complete construction work within the contractual timeframe. The court determined that the contractual deadline for completion is strictly defined by the moment of full provisional acceptance of the work, not by other milestones. Consequently, the municipality's claim for a penalty based on an earlier date was rejected as legally unfounded.
