The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the appeal regarding an excessive seizure of a property significantly exceeding the debt amount. The debtor argued the seizure violated the principle of proportionality, while the creditor maintained the asset was the sole known property available for execution. The court ruled that no excess exists when the seized item is the only identifiable asset of the debtor.

SUMÁRIO

I - Não pode falar-se em penhora excessiva quando o bem penhorado em execução, não obstante ser de valor muito superior ao crédito exequendo, é o único bem penhorável conhecido ao executado.
