The court ruled that authors must pay defendants the liquidated value of useful improvements made to the property. The defendants argued these enhancements could not be removed without detriment to the building, while the authors contested the claim in their reconvention. The court granted the review, establishing that such improvements constitute a debt payable upon execution of the preference judgment.

SUMÁRIO

Provado em acção de preferência que os réus fizeram benfeitorias úteis, que não podem ser levantadas sem detrimento, no prédio objecto da preferência e cujo valor não corresponde ao por eles pedido em reconvenção, devem os autores ser condenados a pagar-lhes o que se liquidar em execução de sentença.
