Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the appeal regarding the execution of a judgment where the debtor provided bail to suspend proceedings. The court held that seizure serves to enforce coercive collection of the debt rather than guaranteeing its payment. Consequently, the provision of bail does not invalidate the seizure's purpose even if it temporarily halts the execution process.

SUMÁRIO

A penhora não se destina a garantir o pagamento da quantia exequenda mas sim a obter a cobrança coerciva da dívida, pelo que subsistirá mesmo no caso de, havendo embargos, ser prestada caução para sustar a execução.
