Questão jurídica principal
Whether a reform appeal is available against an order appointing or refusing office administration of an estate under Art. 556(3) CC.
Decisão extraída
No. Such a decision is a provisional, non-contentious measure and is not among the civil matters expressly open to reform appeal under the former OJ.
Fundamentação extraída
The challenged order concerns a non-contentious provisional estate measure. Because no express provision in Arts. 44 and 45 OJ makes it eligible for reform appeal, the Federal Court lacks the statutory basis to hear it.
