Legislator summary

AI generated

The Tribunal da Relação do Porto ruled that a tenant in a long-term vehicle rental holds a legally protected interest sufficient to file a criminal complaint for damage. Although the tenant is merely a possessor, the court determined they retain the right to use the vehicle, making this relationship legally relevant for criminal proceedings. Consequently, the court granted the tenant's standing to initiate the action against the property damage.

SUMÁRIO

No caso de um aluguer de longa duração de um veículo automóvel é titular do interesse juridicamente protegido, in casu, no crime de dano, o locatário, que, por isso, tem legitimidade para apresentar queixa, já que é aquele que apesar de mero possuidor, detém o direito de gozo da coisa, sendo a respectiva relação (de gozo) jurídico-penalmente relevante.
