The Tribunal da Relação do Porto upheld the new work embargo against a property owner despite the existence of a servitude, ruling that both rights can operate under a regime of subsidiarity. The court found that the applicant possessed the land with animus possidendi, triggering a legal presumption of ownership under Article 1252, paragraph 2 of the Civil Code. Consequently, the court decided that the incompatibility between the two rights does not preclude their simultaneous use, thereby validating the precautionary measure.

SUMÁRIO

I - A incompatibilidade, como fundamento de providência cautelar de embargo de obra nova, entre o direito de propriedade de um caminho e o respectivo direito de servidão sobre ele, não impede que ambos sejam utilizados em regime de subsidiariedade.

II - A presunção consignada no artigo 1252 n.2 do Código Civil, vale não só para os casos de dúvida entre a posse em nome de outrem e a posse em nome próprio, mas para todos os casos em que existe poder de facto.
