Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the claim that signatories acted as managing partners solely based on their signatures on a company stamp. The plaintiff argued these signatures constituted valid corporate representation, while the defendants contended they acted personally without proper authorization. The court ruled that signatures on a stamp are merely indicative and do not prove the necessary authority to act in the company's name.

SUMÁRIO

A simples aposição das assinaturas sobre os dizeres de um carimbo de uma sociedade não é suficiente para se considerar que uns arguidos agiram na qualidade de sócios-gerentes e não em seu nome pessoal.

Era necessário (também) que se tivesse feito prova de que tinham poderes para actuar em nome da dita sociedade, o que, in casu, não aconteceu.
