The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the lower court's judgment, ruling that the doctrine of res judicata applies strictly to the main decision of the action. The appellant argued for a broader scope, but the court held that preliminary or preparatory decisions do not automatically form part of the res judicata unless specific conditions are met. Consequently, the appeal was rejected, reinforcing the principle that the material scope of res judicata is limited to the final judgment on the object of the suit.
