Legislator summary

AI generated

The Tribunal da Relação do Porto unanimously declared that the preparation of summary proceedings always falls to the district court judge, even when the case value exceeds the relation court's jurisdiction. The plaintiff sought collective tribunal intervention in the initial petition, arguing for a higher judicial body's involvement. The court rejected this, holding that the statutory mandate for summary procedure preparation remains exclusively with the district court judge until the judgment phase.

SUMÁRIO

I - Nas acções que seguem os termos do processo sumário, é sempre ao juiz do tribunal da comarca que compete a preparação do processo, mesmo que o seu valor seja superior à alcada da Relação e logo na petição inicial se requeira a intervenção do tribunal colectivo, a qual se restringe, quando requerida, à fase do julgamento.
