AI generated

The court dismissed the request to pay expropriation compensation in installments, affirming that the expropriated party must receive the full amount immediately. While the Municipal Chamber argued it could not pay the total sum at once, the court held that the loss of ownership necessitates immediate satisfaction of the entire indemnity. Consequently, the burden of proving why immediate payment was impossible fell on the expropriating authority, which failed to meet this standard.

SUMÁRIO

Numa expropriação por utilidade publica levada a efeito por uma Camara Municipal e a esta entidade que cabe o onus da prova sobre as circunstancias que a impediam de pagar imediatamente a totalidade de indemnização e não a expropriada que tem a seu favor a regra de que a indemnização deve ser satisfeita na sua globalidade, por virtude da privação do dominio sobre a coisa.
