Legislator summary

AI generated

The court partially allowed the seizure of a partner's profits and liquidation quota within a civil law firm during enforcement proceedings. While the partner's financial interests were subject to attachment, the court ruled that physical work instruments like books and computers are indispensable to the profession and thus exempt from seizure. This distinction ensures that the enforcement does not cripple the professional's ability to practice their trade.

SUMÁRIO

I - Sendo executado o sócio de sociedade de advogados, que é uma sociedade civil, pode ser penhorado o direito aos lucros e à quota de liquidação de que seja titular esse sócio.

II - Tal penhora não abrange os "instrumentos de trabalho" do executado, como abrangeria se fossem penhorados livros, computadores ou instrumentos e objectos estritamente indispensáveis ao exercício da profissão de advogado.
