Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice unanimously determined that an opposition between two prior rulings exists due to divergent interpretations of the same legal norms. One decision restricts the examination of merchant books to cases involving the merchant's interest or responsibility, while the other permits free examination regardless of such conditions. The court concluded that this interpretative conflict satisfies the legal requirements for declaring an opposition between the two acórdãos.

SUMÁRIO

Existe oposição de acórdãos se ambas as decisões se apoiam nas mesmas normas, mas interpretadas de modos diversos, de tal forma que uma delas faz interpretação restritiva ao passo que a outra admite que se possa ordenar livremente exame nos livros e documentos do comerciante, independentemente de ele ter interesse ou responsabilidade na questão em litígio.
