AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice ordered the lower court to establish a detailed record of material facts rather than relying on vague references. The appellant argued that the initial facts were insufficient for the Supreme Court to determine the correct legal provisions. The court ruled that without a precise factual foundation, it cannot define the applicable law, thus mandating the lower court to complete the factual record.

SUMÁRIO

Incumbe ao tribunal a quo (Relação) o estabelecimento discriminado - o que não se compadece com simples alusões - dos factos materiais da causa, a fim de possibilitar a actividade própria do Supremo, ou seja, a definição do direito aplicável.
