The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the request for judicial aid, ruling that the judge's duty to order investigations is triggered solely by genuine doubts regarding the applicant's financial declarations. The applicant argued for broader judicial assistance, but the court emphasized that without such doubts, the statutory obligation to investigate does not arise. Consequently, the appeal was rejected because the lower court's refusal to order diligence was legally sound under the cited provision.
