The Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the appeal regarding an expropriation proceeding for public utility. The appellant argued that the defendant's failure to comply with Article 38 of the Expropriation Code constituted a procedural irregularity warranting substantive consequences. The court ruled that such non-compliance results only in a procedural defect without affecting the validity or progress of the expropriation itself.

SUMÁRIO

A norma constante do artigo 38 do CEXP91 é uma mera norma de disciplina ou ordenamento do processo a acatar, em princípio, pelas entidades expropriantes, mas cujo desrespeito tem como sanção uma mera irregularidade, sem qualquer outra influência prática a nível da sua respectiva marcha.
