The court declared the constitutive title for horizontal property null and void. The plaintiff argued that the title included a space designated in the municipal project as a 'porter's house,' which should be a common area, not a private fraction. The court ruled that including such a common space within a private fraction violates the legal requirements for horizontal property titles under the Civil Code.

SUMÁRIO

Se a escritura pública de constituição da propriedade horizontal inclui, entre as fracções autónomas, um espaço que, no projecto aprovado pela Câmara Municipal, se destinava a "casa da porteira", e, portanto, a parte comum, ocorre nulidade do título constitutivo, nos termos do n. 1, do artigo 1416, do Código Civil.
