The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa refused to examine the nullity argument, ruling that the issue of jurisdiction had already been definitively settled by a prior final judgment. The defense argued for procedural invalidity, but the court emphasized the constitutional principle of res judicata under Article 29(5) of the Portuguese Constitution. Consequently, the court held that reopening the matter would violate the legal certainty established by the earlier decision.
