Questão jurídica principal
Whether a request for information and documents under Art. 170 CC may be brought as a clear case under Art. 257 CPC
Decisão extraída
The clear-procedure route is unavailable here because the alleged facts are not immediately provable and the request is too extensive and complex to be decided without taking evidence.
Fundamentação extraída
Although Art. 170 CC creates a substantive right to information that can be asserted independently, the conditions of Art. 257 CPC were not met: the factual basis was disputed and the requested production spanned many pages and numerous institutions, so the judge would have to investigate and sort the requests.
