Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the appeal regarding an accessory clause contained within a homologated judicial settlement. The plaintiff argued the clause should be enforceable despite lacking a separate written document, while the defendant contended that the clause's validity depended on its formal written form. The court ruled that because the accessory clause was not reduced to writing, it is null and cannot serve as the basis for a new lawsuit to alter the terms of the settlement.

SUMÁRIO

I - Sendo a transacção judicial reduzida a escrito e homologada, a cláusula acessória anterior ou contemporânea deve revestir a mesma forma, ou seja, constar de documento.

II - Não constando de documento, a cláusula é nula e, por isso, não pode sustentar a causa de pedir em acção intentada para alterar o contido naquela transacção judicial.
