AI generated

The court ordered the withdrawal of previously granted legal aid to the plaintiff, who had benefited from a statutory presumption of economic insufficiency. Evidence revealed the plaintiff received a monthly salary of 152,921 escudos and other benefits, which proved to be nearly eight times the calculated court costs. Consequently, the court ruled that the statutory conditions for legal aid were no longer met, mandating the removal of the support.
