Legislator summary

AI generated

The Tribunal da Relação do Porto held that a separate judicial notice serves as a valid means to interrupt the statute of limitations. The court found that when such notice is not delivered within five days due to causes not attributable to the claimant, the interruption is deemed to have occurred after that five-day period. Consequently, the court allowed the interruption claim but adjusted the effective date based on the procedural delay caused by factors beyond the claimant's control.
