Court dismisses appeal on lease caducity exception, ruling no need to examine substantive cause of action.

The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa confirmed the lower court's decision dismissing the appeal based on a plea of caducity. The appellant argued for the lease's invalidity, but the court held that the exception of caducity precluded any examination of the underlying cause of action. Consequently, the court ruled that the procedural bar was sufficient to terminate the case without addressing the merits.
