The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the lower court's decision regarding a labor contract termination dispute. The appellant argued that the worker's continued service for months disproved a mutual agreement, while the respondent maintained that the lack of written evidence negated the termination. The court ruled that without signed documents from both parties, the termination is invalid, and the worker's continued presence is presumed to be under the original agreement terms.

SUMÁRIO

I - A rescisão do contrato de trabalho por mútuo acordo só é válida e eficaz se resultar de documento assinado por ambos os contraentes ficando cada um com um exemplar.

II - Se nada se prova quanto à razão porque o trabalhador se manteve ao serviço por mais alguns meses, prevalece o acordo.
