The Tribunal da Relação do Porto annulled a lower court decision regarding a claim for an easement of passage. The appellant argued that the factual exercise of passage presumptively established a legal right, while the respondent contended that such presumption could be overturned by proving the passage occurred under a different title. The court ruled in favor of the respondent, holding that the statutory presumption of intent to exercise a right of passage is valid only unless the servient owner successfully demonstrates that the usage stems from a distinct legal basis.

SUMÁRIO

A circunstancia de um titular de um prédio exercer um poder de facto consubstanciado na passagem por um caminho faz presumir o intuito de exercer o correspondente direito de passagem, a não ser que o dono do prédio pretensamente serviente logre ilidir essa presunção, mostrando que a dita passagem se tem efectuado a título diverso.
