The Tribunal da Relação do Porto annulled a lower court judgment regarding the improper addition of new questions during a hearing. The appellant argued that the judge should have allowed witnesses to testify on facts not covered by the original questions. The court ruled that the power to formulate new questions does not grant parties the right to introduce new witnesses for unraised facts.
