SUMÁRIO

A tendência actual da jurisprudência é a de elevar os quantitativos a fixar pelos danos morais, por forma a que sejam mais compatíveis com os padrões do aumento da qualidade de vida e do progresso económico, bem como com as oscilações do valor da moeda e dos aumentos dos prémios de seguro.
