Portuguese Supreme Court dismisses appeal for lack of jurisdiction over factual sufficiency in preliminary proceedings.

The Supreme Court of Justice declined to examine the appeal regarding the sufficiency of facts presented in the preliminary hearing. The appellant argued that the lower court's summary judgment was insufficient, but the court held that determining factual adequacy for a final trial is beyond its jurisdiction. Consequently, the appeal was rejected because the power to assess factual sufficiency for a merits judgment does not belong to the Supreme Court of Justice.
