The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa confirmed the lower court's decision ordering the vehicle owner's insurer to pay damages for a pedestrian accident. The court noted that since no fault could be attributed to any party involved in the incident, liability was established under the Civil Code. Consequently, the insurer was held responsible despite the action being brought under the specific liability law of 1983.
