Legislator summary

AI generated

The court allowed the cumulation of distinct claims against multiple defendants provided specific legal criteria were met. The plaintiff sought to join several defendants under different requests, arguing for a unified procedural approach. The court ruled that while general cumulation against a single defendant is restricted, it is permissible when a single source of material relations, dependency between claims, or substantial connection between their legal foundations is demonstrated.

SUMÁRIO A cumulação de pedidos apenas pode ter lugar quando seja dirigida contra o mesmo Réu.

Todavia, a lei processual faculta a um mesmo Autor demandar conjuntamente vários Réus por pedidos diferentes desde que se verifique a unicidade da fonte das relações materiais em litígio, a dependência entre os pedidos ou a conexão substancial entre os fundamentos destes.
