Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the appeal regarding the annulment of a Brazilian sales contract based on simulated price. The sellers, a married couple domiciled in Brazil, sued a Portuguese buyer, arguing the contract was void due to price simulation. The court held that since the sellers share a common domicile in Brazil, they constitute a single litigant for territorial jurisdiction purposes, rendering Portuguese courts incompetent to hear the case.
