Questão jurídica principal
Whether the public law appeal was admissible under Art. 88 OJ despite the appellant's objections to findings on fraudulent intent.
Decisão extraída
The appellant lacked a legally protected interest because the contested factual finding was legally irrelevant; therefore he had no standing to appeal.
Fundamentação extraída
The court relied on its simultaneous ruling in the reform appeal: the damage stemmed from non-performance of the contractual obligation to procure management, not from unlawful conduct. The parties' alleged deceitful intent was therefore irrelevant to the dispute, so the challenge to that finding could not support standing.
