Legislator summary

AI generated

The court granted the third-party possession action, ruling that the law protects factual control rather than abstract property titles. The plaintiff, a third party, successfully claimed possession against the defendant based on immediate factual control, while the defendant argued for their underlying property right. The court decided in favor of the plaintiff because possession is a provisional remedy justified only until the true owner is proven.

SUMÁRIO

I- É só o poder de facto que é a posse que a Lei protege, mediante os embargos de terceiro, e não o direito de propriedade de qualquer outro direito real.

II- A tutela da posse tem uma natureza provisória, que só se justifica enquanto não se provar quem é o titular do direito correspondente.

III- Tendo improcedido a acção de reivindicação que o terceiro embargante intentara, improcedem os embargos de terceiro.
