The Tribunal da Relação do Porto revoked the lower court's decision regarding the prescription period for compensation claims. The appellant argued that the clock started when the preliminary inquiry was opened, while the respondent contended it began at the archiving stage. The court ruled that the right to claim damages is extinguished if not exercised after the archiving order is notified, establishing that this specific notification triggers the limitation period.
