The court dismissed the request for specific execution of a contract-promissory sale based on a council deliberation to sell a property. The plaintiff argued the deliberation constituted a binding sales contract, while the defendant contended it was merely an expression of intent to sell. The court ruled that such a deliberation lacks the necessary contractual elements to trigger specific execution under Article 830 of the Civil Code.

SUMÁRIO

Uma deliberação camararia no sentido de se proceder a venda de um imovel a certa entidade em determinadas condições somente exprime a vontade de vender, não integrando um contrato-promessa de compra e venda ou simples promessa unilateral de venda, pelo que não pode funcionar em tal caso o regime da execução especifica do contrato, previsto no artigo 830 do Codigo Civil.
