The Supreme Court of Justice unanimously dismissed the review of a lower court's decision not to presume the defendant's fault in a traffic accident. The plaintiff argued that the defendant should be presumed at fault because they were not legally authorized to operate the bicycle involved. The court held that the lower court correctly exercised its discretion to reject this presumption based on the specific circumstances of the case.

SUMÁRIO

Está vedado ao Supremo sindicar o entendimento da Relação de não fazer presumir a culpa da ré na produção do acidente a partir da circunstância de esta não estar legalmente habilitada a conduzir o velocípede que tripulava.
