The court ruled that a bankruptcy declaration does not terminate the lease agreement but requires the eviction action to be directed at the bankruptcy estate. The plaintiff sought eviction from a tenant who failed to pay rent after bankruptcy proceedings were initiated. The court held that the proper defendant is the bankruptcy mass, ensuring the estate assumes the debt obligation.

SUMÁRIO

A declaração de falência não obsta à manutenção do contrato de arrendamento em que o falido seja arrendatário mas, uma vez declarada a falência, a acção de despejo fundada no facto de o falido não ter pago as rendas deve ser intentada contra a massa falida.
