The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa confirmed the lower court's decision to terminate the construction lease contract. The appellant argued that structural alterations justified ending the agreement, while the respondent contended the changes were merely cosmetic. The court ruled that termination is only valid if the alterations cause substantial, permanent, and irreparable functional or aesthetic damage that cannot be repaired.
