Portuguese court rules social security credits and interest enjoy general mortgage privilege without the two-year civil code time limit.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Tribunal da Relação do Porto partially revoked a lower court decision regarding the priority of social security claims. The appellant argued that social security contributions and accrued interest should be subject to the two-year limitation period in the Civil Code, while the lower court had granted them a general mortgage privilege. The appellate court ruled that these specific credits do not fall under the temporal restriction, thereby preserving their privileged status indefinitely.
