The Tribunal da Relação do Porto partially allowed an appeal regarding the procedural form of a food support action. The plaintiff, a minor, sued their father for maintenance, while the lower court had applied the special form of the public action. The court ruled that such actions against parents must follow the common declarative form and are within the competence of the common tribunal. Consequently, the appeal was granted to correct the procedural defect, establishing that objective elements like the parties' relationship dictate the proper legal form.
