Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the plaintiff's request for damages exceeding actual losses and refused to rule on the case in the summary order. The plaintiff sought compensation based on imputed delay, while the defendant argued for restitution of the excessive amount or a total dismissal if the delay was not their fault. The court held that a summary order cannot adjudicate the case when essential factual elements remain unproven, requiring a full trial to determine liability.

SUMÁRIO

I - Exigido, por meio de coacção, o pagamento, por mora imputável à outra parte, de indemnização superior aos prejuízos sofridos (cfr. artigo 19 da petição), a outra tem o direito de exigir a restituição da parte indevida ou a totalidade se a mora lhe não for imputável.

II - A acção não pode ser julgada no despacho saneador se não está ainda apurada toda a matéria de facto indispensável a uma decisão conscenciosa.
