The court confirmed the lower tribunal's decision dismissing the appellant's claim to alter the substance of the property. The appellant, acting as a usufructuary, argued for the right to modify the property, while the owner maintained that such changes require their consent. The court ruled that a usufructuary holds only a limited right (ius in re aliena) and cannot unilaterally change the substance of the property without the owner's approval.

SUMÁRIO

Enquanto o proprietário, como titular de uma "plena postestas in re propria" pode, em princípio, alterar livremente a forma e a substância da coisa, o usufrutuário, como sujeito de um "ius in re aliena" não é lícito fazê-lo sem consentimento do proprietário da raiz.
