The High Court of Cassation and Justice, in a Plenary Decision on Recusal in the Interest of the Law, admitted the appeal filed by the Court’s Governing Council and established a binding interpretive rule. The dispute concerned a conflict of law between the Insolvency Code and the Civil Procedure Code regarding the jurisdiction of the supervising court when insolvency proceedings are initiated against a defendant after the conclusion of oral arguments or during pending appeals. The Court held that the Insolvency Code does not derogate from common procedural law; consequently, the supervising court retains exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate all pending appeals in the reformative degree, whether filed by the debtor or the creditor. This decision is based on the interpretation of Article 75(1) and Article 75(2)(a) of Law No. 85/2014 (Insolvency Code) in conjunction with the provisions of the Civil Procedure Code, and it is mandatory under Article 517(4) of the Civil Procedure Code.
