Unofficial summary in English. The judgment is published in Portuguese only, and only the Portuguese text is authentic.
The appellant, who had sought recognition of his ownership of a property bought under a private contract, lodged an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against the Supreme Court judgment upholding the dismissal of his action at the preliminary-ruling stage without a trial hearing, invoking the adversarial principle, effective judicial protection and fair trial. The Court dismissed the appeal because a judge may dispense with further evidence when the file allows, and the appellant had fully participated in the proceedings.
