Portuguese court holds that standalone judicial notification validly interrupts prescription under Civil Code articles 323(1), (3), (4).

The Tribunal da Relação do Porto partially revoked a lower court decision regarding the interruption of prescription. The appellant argued that a standalone judicial notification constituted a valid interruptive act under the Civil Code, while the opposing party contended otherwise. The court ruled that such notifications are indeed an idóneo (suitable) means to interrupt the statute of limitations, thereby validating the interruption claim.
