Questão jurídica principal
Whether the constitution of a bearer mortgage note required the spouse's express consent under Art. 169 CC
Decisão extraída
The mere creation of the bearer mortgage note did not affect the validity of the pledge title and did not require the spouse's consent.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 169 CC, the protected act is the disposition that may restrict family housing rights; the note itself has only formal existence until disposed of, e.g. pledged.
