Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice rejected the plaintiff's claim because the defendants successfully argued that the alleged tenant lacked authority to sign the lease contract. The court determined that establishing whether the tenant had the power to conclude the agreement is a matter of fact, not law. Consequently, the court could not review the case on this point and had to acquiesce to the lower court's finding on the facts.

SUMÁRIO

Se a Relação julgou que os réus não alegaram factos dos quais se pudesse concluir que uma sociedade, com quem alegam ter celebrado um contrato de arrendamento do prédio reivindicado, não tinha poderes para celebrar esse contrato, tem o S.T.J de acatar esse julgamento, por versar matéria de facto.
