The Supreme Court of Justice denied the request to review the legality of construction works in a building under horizontal property regime. The plaintiff argued that the works violated property rights, but the court found no evidence that the structures were built in common areas or caused architectural or aesthetic prejudice. Consequently, the court ruled that no violation of material property limits occurred based on the proven facts.
