Questão jurídica principal
Whether possession of the old certificate triggered the presumption of ownership under Art. 930 CC
Decisão extraída
The claimant could not rely on the presumption because his possession was equivocal and insufficiently explained.
Fundamentação extraída
The contradictory and vague account of acquisition, lack of documents, and absence of convincing witness evidence made the possession suspicious; therefore the statutory presumption did not apply.
