Legislator summary

AI generated

The court allowed the bankruptcy declaration against a non-merchant, rejecting the opposing party's request to extinguish the proceedings. Although the non-merchant currently lacks assets, the court noted that the bankruptcy law limits their future acquisitions as well. Consequently, the case was not dismissed because the non-merchant may still obtain assets in the future.

SUMÁRIO

I - Admitindo a lei actual a declaração do estado de falência quer do comerciante quer do não comerciante, este passou também a estar limitado quanto aos bens futuros.

II - Assim, verificando-se a inexistência de bens da parte do não comerciante, não é de decidir pela extinção da instância pois o mesmo pode vir a obtê-los.
