The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the lower court's dismissal of the appeal regarding a joint bank account dispute. The plaintiff argued that the deposit should be presumed equally funded by both account holders, while the defendant contended the funds originated solely from their exclusive property. The court ruled that this legal presumption is irrebuttable unless the plaintiff proves the specific source of the deposited funds and the motive for opening the account.
