The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the appeal regarding a claim of public domain ownership over a specific plot of land. The plaintiff argued that the land's long-term, direct, and immediate use by the public inherently proves its status as public domain property. The court rejected this argument, finding no legal basis to equate public usage with public ownership, thus upholding the lower court's decision.

SUMÁRIO

Há identidade de causa de pedir se a Autora, quer na acção, quer em reconvenção deduzida em anterior pleito, assentou a pretensa dominialidade pública de um terreno no facto de este, desde tempos imemoriais, estar no uso directo e imediato pelo público, deste modo afectado, de forma directa e imediata, aos fins de utilidade pública a ele inerentes.
