The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the appeal, confirming the lower court's decision to deny the arrest. The creditor argued for the measure based on a fear of asset dissipation, while the debtor contested the lack of concrete evidence. The court ruled that mere fear is insufficient; the creditor must prove specific facts showing the debtor's intent to hide or alienate assets.

SUMÁRIO

O "justificado receio" (de que fala a lei a propósito do arresto) de o credor perder a garantia patrimonial do seu crédito, se não exige uma efectiva dissipação ou alienação dos seus bens, exige, pelo menos, alegação e prova de factos que revelem, por parte do devedor, a disposição de ocultar ou alienar os bens, só assim se justificando o receio do credor.
