Alegabilidade e cognoscibilidade de factos supervenientes em recurso de apelação civil

Abstract

The purpose of this assignment is to analyse the possibility of alleging and knowing supervening facts in the context of civil appeals in the Portuguese legal system. The importance of this research stems from the decisive role that facts play in the judicial decision, which can influence whether the parties' claims are upheld or dismissed. The dissertation aims to explore the admissibility of supervening facts in appeals, the limitations imposed by the law and the implications of accepting or rejecting the admissibility of supervening facts. To this end, the fundamental principles of civil procedure and the classification of facts. The study is based on a rigorous analysis of doctrine, case law and applicable legislation, culminating in a reasoned position on the subject.
