Legislator summary

AI generated

The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the appeal because the appealed judgment lacked a mandatory court record (acta). The lower court held that without an acta, the occurrence of a hearing cannot be proven, leading to the judgment's legal non-existence. Consequently, the appellate court could not review a document that legally did not exist.

SUMÁRIO

A acta é o instrumento destinado a fazer fé quanto aos termos em que se desenrolaram os actos processuais a cuja documentação a lei obrigar, tendo o valor probatório dos documentos autênticos.

Na ausência de acta não pode, pois, afirmar-se sequer a ocorrência de uma audiência de julgamento, padecendo a sentença respectiva de inexistência.
