Legislator summary

AI generated

The court granted the review, ruling that an easement acquired through usucapion does not possess the nature of a legal easement. Consequently, the owners of the servient estate were denied the right of first refusal when the dominant estate was sold. The decision establishes that only legally constituted easements trigger the statutory right of preference, excluding those acquired via long-term possession.

SUMÁRIO

A servidão de passagem adquirida por usucapião não tem a natureza de servidão legal, pelo que, em caso de compra e venda do prédio dominante, os proprietários do prédio serviente não têm o direito de preferência na compra.
