Unofficial summary in English. The judgment is published in Portuguese only, and only the Portuguese text is authentic.
Fazenda Mangais, SA and another appellant appealed to the Plenary against the order of the President of the Court refusing their appeal for harmonisation of case law, arguing that the order had ruled on the merits, a matter reserved to the Plenary. The Court allowed the appeal and admitted it, holding that the preliminary examination is limited to formal requirements, such as the allegation of conflict with an earlier final judgment on the same point of law, without assessing whether the conflict actually exists.
