Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the request to review the divorce judgment because the plaintiff failed to prove any reconciliation occurred during the nine-year separation period. While the parties had lived apart since mid-1970, the plaintiff offered no evidence to show they resumed cohabitation. Consequently, the court upheld the original decision based on the established facts of continuous separation.

SUMÁRIO

Tendo-se provado que, desde meados de Julho de 1970, o autor e a ré passaram a residir em moradas distintas e que esta situação se manteve ininterruptamente até ao presente, e tendo a acção sido instaurada em 16 de Novembro de 1979, apenas afectou a existência de separação de facto (artigos 1781, a) e 1782, n. 1, do Código Civil) a ocorrência de algum facto ou circunstância que mostre que, durante esse tempo - mais de nove anos, o autor e a ré tenham reatado a comunhão de vida entre eles.
