Legislator summary

AI generated

The court unanimously denied the request for review regarding the payment terms of a sold commodity. The creditor successfully argued that the parties had agreed on commercial payment practices, establishing the debtor's default ('mora debendi') rather than the creditor's ('mora accipiendi'). Consequently, the court held that the debtor is legally barred from unilaterally changing the established payment deadlines.

SUMÁRIO

I - Tendo as partes acordado sobre a forma de pagamento do preço da mercadoria fornecida de harmonia com a prática comercial, o credor goza do direito de compelir o devedor ao cumprimento da obrigação, não podendo o devedor alterar os prazos de pagamento.

II - Verifica-se, em tal caso, "mora debendi" e não "mora accipiendi".
