The court dismissed the appeal regarding the opposing party's request to hear a witness via deprecada. The appellant argued that the counterparty should have the right to request such a hearing, while the respondent maintained that only the party who originally summoned the witness holds this specific procedural right. The court ruled that the opposing party lacks standing to make this request, noting they may only suggest it to the judge, who will then weigh the advantages for justice against the inconvenience to the proceedings.

SUMÁRIO

Só a parte que arrolou a testemunha tem o direito de requerer a sua audição por deprecada ou na audiência final, não tendo a parte contrária qualquer legitimidade para o fazer, podendo apenas sugeri-lo ou requerê-lo ao tribunal e a este deferir ou não, ponderando as pretensas vantagens para a justiça e os inconvenientes para o andamento do processo.
