The Tribunal da Relação do Porto annulled a lower court judgment for omitting a ruling on facts alleged in the defense regarding self-defense. The defense argued these unaddressed facts could exclude illegality or reduce culpability, impacting sentencing and damages. The court held that a judgment must explicitly rule on all contested facts to ensure a complete assessment of guilt and penalty.
