The Tribunal da Relação do Porto rejected the appeal against a decision substituting a prison sentence with correctional measures for a juvenile offender. The lower court applied the law limiting such substitution to cases where the original sentence did not exceed two years. The appellate court upheld this restriction, ruling that measures under the 1982 law are strictly conditional on the sentence length.
