Legislator summary

AI generated

The court confirmed the appeal, ruling that invoking the legal presumption of performance in a defense automatically contests the opposing party's claim of non-payment. The plaintiff argued for non-payment, while the defendant relied on the statutory presumption to shift the burden of proof. The court held that no specific factual allegation of actual performance is required to trigger this automatic contestation of the non-payment claim.

SUMÁRIO

Quando se invoca na contestação a presunção legal de cumprimento contesta-se automaticamente o facto contrário que o autor invoca na petição, não sendo necessário que em concreto se alegue o cumprimento para que se ponha em crise o não pagamento invocado pelo autor.
