The court dismissed the civil liability claim against the defendants, ruling that the plaintiff cyclist failed to stop at a Stop sign before entering the intersection. The plaintiff argued for compensation after being struck by an automobile, but the court found the cyclist solely responsible for the accident due to their failure to yield. Consequently, the court held that no liability existed for the defendants based on the clear violation of traffic rules by the injured party.

SUMÁRIO

I - Entrando a vítima - que conduzia um velocípede sem motor - num cruzamento junto do qual se encontrava um sinal "Stop", devia não só ter parado, como cedido a passagem ao veículo automóvel, que circulava na via em que ele ia entrar.

II - Tendo-se verificado culpa do lesado, impunha-se a absolvição dos réus do pedido.
