The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa partially allowed the appeal regarding the classification of multiple check issuances. The prosecution argued for a continuous crime due to the plurality of resolutions, while the defense contended for a single criminal intent. The court held that a single criminal design negates the continuity of the crime, even with multiple checks, and confirmed the punishability of issuing checks without funds regardless of the presentation date.
