Questão jurídica principal
Whether an administrative authority may declare, under Art. 84 LDFR, that estate properties constitute an agricultural enterprise when the issue is relevant to pending civil partition proceedings.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The competent authority may issue such a declaratory decision; the civil judge is not exclusively competent to determine this question.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 84 LDFR is not limited to the listed cases. It also covers the public-law concretization of general LDFR concepts, including whether a property or enterprise is agricultural. If the same concept is relevant in civil and administrative contexts, the administrative authority may decide it, and the civil court should, where appropriate, suspend until that decision exists rather than exclude the request as inadmissible.
