The Supreme Court of Justice unanimously rejected the request to review the case's factual findings. The respondent argued that new facts should be included in the questioner, but the court held it lacks jurisdiction to decide on such inclusion. Consequently, the case must return to the second instance only if the court determines the existing facts require expansion to support a legal ruling.

SUMÁRIO

I - Não compete, ao Supremo, decidir se determinado facto, alegado pela Ré, deve, ou não, ser incluído no questionário.

II - O processo só pode voltar à 2. Instância quando o Supremo entender que a decisão de facto carece de ser ampliada em ordem a constituir base suficiente para a decisão de direito.
