The Tribunal da Relação do Porto upheld the fixed-term employment contract, rejecting the claim that it violated statutory requirements. The employer argued that the temporary nature of the contract was justified by a temporary surge in activity driven by orders from EUREST and the short duration of the exploitation transfer. The court agreed, finding the specific circumstances of the business growth and the temporary transfer valid grounds for the contract's duration.
