The Tribunal da Relação do Porto unanimously dismissed the appeal regarding the nullity of a judicial order refusing an expert witness. The appellant argued for the nullity of the refusal shortly after the swearing-in ceremony where the parties were present, citing secondary irregularities. The court held that such arguments are inadmissible when raised after the fact and that no appeal exists against a refusal to appoint an expert.
