The Tribunal da Relação do Porto annulled a judgment regarding the defendant's absence from a trial concerning a driving ban and fine. The court established that a driving ban constitutes a security measure, not a penalty, under established doctrine. Consequently, the defendant's mandatory presence was required for the hearing of transgressions involving both penalties and security measures.
