English translation of the principle

The jurisdiction of the Tenancies Circuit is established only where the dispute relates to a provision of Decree-Law 35/1987 concerning a tenancy relationship. - A claim for an order to repay what was collected in execution of an arbitral award finally adjudged void. Not a tenancy dispute. Rather, it is governed by the rules on restitution of payments not due.
