The Supreme Court of Justice allowed the defendant to be condemned for overdue interest even though the plaintiff initially omitted these amounts from the stated cause value. The plaintiff argued that the cause value should include all claims, while the defendant contended that the omission did not preclude the award of interest. The court ruled that the omission does not bar the claim and that the appellate tribunal lacks jurisdiction over new competence questions.

II - O tribunal de recurso não conhece de questões novas, não sendo estas de conhecimento oficioso.
