The Supreme Administrative Court unanimously ruled that the debtor must pay execution costs when the underlying lawsuit becomes impossible due to a temporary payment deferral granted by the court. The Fazenda Nacional (National Treasury) sought these costs against Lencatex after the execution proceedings were suspended pending a temporary payment arrangement. The court held that the procedural outcome of the temporary deferral shifted the burden of litigation expenses to the party who benefited from the suspension.
