Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the debtor's objections, holding that the burden of proof rests entirely on the objector to demonstrate the absence of a debt or extinguishing facts. The debtor argued for a reversal of the evidentiary burden, but the court affirmed that in execution proceedings, the objector must actively allege and prove exceptions that would normally be raised in a standard trial. Consequently, the judgment was upheld because the debtor failed to meet this statutory onus.

SUMÁRIO

Nos embargos de executado, cabe ao embargante o ónus de alegar e provar a inexistência de "causa debendi" ou do direito do exequente ou factos que, em processo normal, constituiriam matéria de excepção (factos impeditivos, modificativos ou extintivos daquele direito).
