AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice annulled the appealed decision and ordered the case to be remanded for fact expansion. The court held that the lower tribunal lacked sufficient factual basis to render a legal decision. Consequently, the case was sent back to the original judges to gather necessary facts before re-evaluating the legal issues.

SUMÁRIO

I - O Supremo deve ordenar a baixa do processo quando entenda ser necessário ampliar a matéria de facto em ordenar a constituir base suficiente para a decisão de direito.

II - É, assim, de anular a decisão recorrida e de mandar julgar de novo a causa pelos mesmos juizes, sendo possível.
