The Tribunal da Relação do Porto granted the appeal, establishing that the local tribunal holding the assets is competent for the inventory following a foreign divorce. The plaintiff argued for jurisdiction based on asset location, while the lower court initially denied it. The court ruled that by analogy to domestic procedural rules, the tribunal where the property resides must handle the inventory and request the appended review proceedings.
