A ação especial de tutela da personalidade

Abstract

The special procedure for the protection of personality rights underwent significant changes with the advent of the 2013 Portuguese Code of Civil Procedure. This dissertation seeks to reflect on the usefulness and suitability of the current system in light of the objectives of the legislative change. To this end, it begins by analysing the reason behind the establishment of the special procedure and reflects on the relevance of the changes, attending to its usage over the last 10 years. Through a comparison with the provisional measures and the ordinary form of procedure, issues related to the coordination between the various means of protecting personality rights in court, the defendant's defence guarantees under the special procedure and the admissibility of cumulative compensation claims are discussed.
