The Tribunal da Relação do Porto upheld the lower court's decision regarding the passive legitimacy of defendants in an eviction action. Although the defendants denied being tenants, the court held that the plaintiff's designation of their status in the initial petition was sufficient to confer standing. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed because the procedural requirement for passive legitimacy was met by the plaintiff's own characterization of the parties.

SUMÁRIO

I - O simples facto de na petição de uma acção de despejo o autor atribuir aos réus a qualidade de arrendatários - ainda que estes neguem sê-lo - é bastante para lhes conferir legitimidade passiva na acção.
