Legislator summary

AI generated

The court revoked the lower decision, ruling that a business manager acting without representation powers cannot nullify an act but may only render it relatively ineffective, a status only the principal can invoke. The court found that the creditor's claim for interruption of prescription via a standalone judicial notification was valid because such notification constituted a ratification of the underlying business act. Consequently, the notification produced a retroactive effect, interrupting the prescription period from the date of the original act rather than the notification itself.

SUMÁRIO

I - O acto praticado por gestor de negócios, sem poderes de representação, não é nulo, só podendo ser afectado de ineficácia relativa, a qual apenas pode ser invocada pelo representado.

II - Assim, a notificação judicial avulsa requerida por gestor de negócios, para efeito de interrupção da prescrição, e alegada pelo credor na petição da acção de indemnização, produz essa interrupção, por se traduzir tal alegação em ratificação do negócio

( a aludida notificação judicial ), com efeito retroactivo.
