The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the lower court's sentence, dismissing the appeal against the excess of pronouncement. The appellant argued the judge ruled on matters not raised by the parties, violating the principle of correspondence between the action and the judgment. The court held that the excess of pronouncement only exists when a judge addresses issues outside the scope of those the law mandates them to know ex officio.
