Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the appeal regarding bank discount claims, ruling that such claims against the acceptor are barred unless a contrary agreement exists. The plaintiff argued for liability based on inferred facts, but the court held that inferring new facts from proven ones is a matter of fact exclusively for the instance courts. Consequently, the appeal was rejected because it attempted to resolve new factual issues rather than reappreciating those already decided by the lower tribunal.

SUMÁRIO

I - Os embargos do "desconto" salvo convenção em contrário, impendem sobre o aceitante-sacado.

II - A ilação de factos a partir dos factos provados e num desenvolvimento lógico dos mesmos é inferência que, por constituir matéria de facto, é da competência exclusiva das instâncias.

III - Os recursos destinam-se a reapreciar questões já resolvidas nos tribunais "a quo" e não a decidir questões novas.
