The Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the request for review of the lower court's decision regarding the necessity of factual matters. The Relação had determined that certain facts required judicial review, but the Supreme Court held this falls exclusively within the competence of the lower instances. Consequently, the court ruled that such factual determinations are not subject to its supervisory review under the Civil Procedure Code.
