The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa modified the decision to award damages for contract breach. The creditor argued for compensation covering losses avoided had the contract been performed, while the defendant contested the scope of such indemnity. The court ruled that the indemnity specifically targets negative damages, meaning the creditor's loss from not having the contract.
