The court rejected the appeal regarding a precautionary measure, ruling that the lack of citation of the required parties rendered the decision null. Although the defendants were not cited, the court held that this defect was cured because the parties had already filed an appeal without previously arguing the specific issue of non-citation. Consequently, the procedural flaw was deemed waived due to the failure to raise it at the earliest opportunity.

SUMÁRIO

I - Há falta de citação dos requeridos, se o tribunal não justificar a falta de audiência deles antes de decretada a providência cautelar.

II - A nulidade, porém, fica sanada, se os requeridos agravaram da decisão e não arguiram logo a falta da citação.
