The Tribunal da Relação do Porto partially allowed the appeal regarding a commercial society's right to claim non-pecuniary damages. The plaintiff argued that as a legal person, the company should be entitled to compensation for moral harm suffered by its reputation, mirroring rights held by natural persons. The court agreed that commercial entities possess the legal capacity to seek such indemnification under the same conditions as individuals, thereby establishing this precedent for corporate moral injury claims.

SUMÁRIO

Também as pessoas colectivas (e, portanto, as sociedades comerciais) têm capacidade jurídica para serem indemnizadas por danos não patrimoniais, nos mesmo termos e condições em que o podem ser as pessoas singulares (pessoas físicas).
