The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa dismissed the appeal regarding the validity of a postal citation sent to a commercial entity. The court held that such citation is regular if the letter is delivered to the address specified in the company's official registration, provided it is indeed the headquarters. Consequently, the procedural defect alleged by the appellant was not found to exist under the cited Civil Procedure Code provisions.
