Court annuls decision for lack of factual findings on disputed material facts requiring further proceedings.

The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa annulled the first-instance decision regarding the procedural advancement of the case. The appellant argued that the lower court failed to establish necessary material facts during the preliminary hearing, which are essential for resolving the dispute. Consequently, the court ordered the return of the case to the first instance to allow for the proper ascertainment of these contested facts before any final judgment.
