The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the lower court's decision dismissing the plaintiff's appeal. The defendant failed to raise the statute of limitations defense during the initial contestation or subsequent proceedings. Consequently, the appellate court ruled it could not examine the prescription issue sua sponte, as the right to invoke it was waived by the defendant's inaction.
