Legislator summary

AI generated

The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the appeal regarding the competence of the common court versus the labor court. The plaintiff argued that the common court should hear the case since the employment contract had already ceased. The court ruled that jurisdiction remains with the labor tribunal because the dispute directly concerns the breach or defective fulfillment of the employment contract itself.
