The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa confirmed the lower court's decision regarding a blank promissory note lacking a specific payment date. The plaintiff argued the note was immediately payable, while the defendant contended it required a fixed term. The court ruled that such a note is not necessarily due on demand but becomes payable when the holder agrees to fill in the missing date according to a conditional pact.

SUMÁRIO

I - A letra ou livrança a que falte a indicação da época de pagamento não é, forçosamente, um título pagável à vista, podendo tal menção ser preenchida pelo portador de acordo com contrato de preenchimento convencionado.

II - A livrança em branco entregue para garantir o cumprimento de uma outra obrigação, pressupõe a existência de um pacto condicional de preenchimento, se e quando se verificar o incumprimento da obrigação caucionada.
