AI generated

The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the lower court's decision upholding the unilateral termination of an employment contract. The appellant argued against the validity of the dismissal, but the court ruled that such termination is an exercise of a potestative right. Consequently, the act becomes legally perfect and final immediately upon the employer's declaration and the employee's acceptance.
