The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa partially allowed the appeal regarding the daily fine amount for an intoxicated driver. The defendant, a brewery owner with substantial annual profits, argued that the fixed fine was disproportionate to his financial situation. The court ruled that while the fine amount was appropriate given his high income, the procedural aspects of the appeal were partially upheld.
