Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the appeal regarding a formal precedent challenge to a ruling on evidence objections. Although the lower court's decision on the burden of proof was based on established legal principles, the Supreme Court held that such procedural rulings do not constitute formal precedent binding future cases. Consequently, the court affirmed the original factual findings, noting that facts can be deemed proven under the principle of procedural acquisition regardless of their evidentiary source.

SUMÁRIO

I - Não faz caso julgado formal o despacho que decide sobre reclamações contra o questionário, embora fundado em determinado entendimento sobre a repartição do ónus da prova.

II - Assim, não ofende qualquer caso julgado formal a decisão sobre a matéria de facto em sede de julgamento, nada impedindo que, com base no princípio da aquisição processual, se considerem provados factos independentemente da sua origem probatória.
