The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the criminal appeal regarding an incomplete check dated 1991. The prosecution argued that the check's date could be filled in by the holder, while the defense contended that such completion requires prior agreement between the drawer and payee. The court ruled that while the agreement is understandable between the original parties, the law does not permit the holder to complete the title without such prior consent.
