Civil court jurisdiction over expropriation cases exceeding the court's monetary limit is confirmed.

The Tribunal da Relação of Porto declared that civil court jurisdiction applies to expropriation proceedings exceeding the monetary limit of the Juiz de Direito. The plaintiff argued for Juiz de Direito jurisdiction, while the defendant requested intervention by the Tribunal Colectivo due to the case's value. The court ruled that such high-value expropriation cases fall under the competence of the Varas Cíveis, not the Juízos Cíveis.
