Court rules interest on overdue rents is due from the end of each civil year in joint usufruct accounting actions.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Tribunal da Relação do Porto unanimously upheld the decision ordering interest on overdue rents from the end of each civil year. The plaintiff sought accounting for joint usufruct administration, arguing that statutory provisions mandate interest accrual on annual rent payments once they become due. The court affirmed that the lower court correctly applied the Civil Code to establish this specific temporal calculation for interest in joint ownership disputes.
