The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa confirmed the lower court's decision upholding a commercial lease where rent was fixed for a future date. The parties argued that such a clause violated the principle of good faith by delaying payment until the date became possible. The court ruled that the declaration holds the meaning a diligent person would derive from the terms and circumstances, validating the contractual freedom to set future payment dates.
