Legislator summary

AI generated

The court confirmed the buyer's request to declare the vehicle sales contract void and ordered the seller to return the purchase price. While the contract was nullified, the buyer was not compelled to return the car because the seller failed to prove they were unjustly enriched. The decision rests on the specific requirement that unjust enrichment must be invoked and proven, which was absent in this instance.

SUMÁRIO

I - Decidida a pedido do comprador a nulidade de contrato de compra e venda de veículo automóvel e condenado o vendedor à restituição do preço, tal não implica necessariamente a condenação do Autor a restituir o automóvel, visto que esta se baseia não na mera declaração da nulidade do contrato mas no princípio do enriquecimento sem causa inaplicável no caso em que faltava a invocação do requisito do enriquecimento.
