The Supreme Court of Justice denied the request to review a decision by the Tribunal da Relação that annulled a collective tribunal's ruling. The lower court exercised its exclusive power to annul decisions based on deficiencies in answers to trial questions, while the Supreme Court's role was limited to censuring the use of powers granted by Article 712 of the Civil Procedure Code. The court ruled that the annulment was a proper exercise of the Relação's jurisdiction, leaving the Supreme Court without authority to intervene in that specific procedural matter.
