Questão jurídica principal
Whether blocking the sewage pipe amounted to damage to property under Art. 144 CC/CP?
Decisão extraída
Yes. Rendering the pipe unusable constituted damage to property even without physical destruction.
Fundamentação extraída
Damage under Art. 144 CP also covers making a thing unusable or reducing its utility; the pipe was put out of use and could no longer evacuate wastewater.
