The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the appeal, confirming the lower court's decision that unchallenged facts are deemed proven solely when relevant to the case outcome. The author had not responded to certain allegations in the defense, yet the court ruled these irrelevant to the judgment. Consequently, the court held that the power to presume facts applies only to those material for deciding the cause, not all unimpugned statements.
