The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa confirmed the lower court's judgment regarding a usucapion action. The plaintiff failed to prove the necessary elements of possession, specifically the material 'corpus' and the intent 'animus'. The court held that mere allegations of assuming possession are insufficient without factual evidence of actual control over the property.
