Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the request for a just impediment based on the advocate's illness. The party argued that their sudden sickness prevented them from fulfilling professional duties, while the opposing side contended the condition did not meet the strict legal threshold. The court ruled that the illness only qualifies as a just impediment if it absolutely bars the advocate from performing acts, notifying the client, and transferring the mandate.

SUMÁRIO

A doença de advogado da parte so constitui justo impedimento se for subita e tão grave que o impossibilite, em absoluto, de praticar o acto, de avisar o constituinte e de substabelecer o mandato.
