Questão jurídica principal
Whether the fax-filed motivation request and appeal were admissible despite the absence of signed originals after cure notice.
Decisão extraída
No. Because the appellants did not file duly signed originals within the time granted to remedy the formal defect, the appeal could not be considered.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 130 para. 1 and Art. 132 para. 1 CPC, a filing affected by a formal defect such as missing signature must be corrected within a set period; otherwise it is disregarded. A fax transmission is not an original signed act.
