Residents of a housing development located in the Carnaxide hills, in the municipality of Amadora, filed a precautionary measure against the Municipality of Oeiras. The residents opposed the planting of a row of trees that the Oeiras council implemented in front of their homes, considering it a kind of "wall of trees." The case was taken to court to try to stop or reverse the situation. The court ultimately dismissed the precautionary measure filed by the residents, not granting the residents' request. The planting was promoted by the council led by Isaltino Morais, president of the Municipality of Oeiras, as part of a tree-planting project in the border zone between the two municipalities.

Court rejects precautionary measure from Amadora residents against Isaltino's "wall of trees"

Why this matters
The residents of the border zone between Amadora and Oeiras are directly affected by this municipal decision regarding public space. The rejection of the precautionary measure means the trees will remain planted, leaving residents without immediate legal recourse against the Oeiras council's decision. This ruling may serve as a reference for similar cases between municipalities and residents.
