The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the lower court's sentence, dismissing the appellant's claim that the collective court lacked authority to answer a question it had previously omitted. The appellant argued the court's failure to respond constituted a nullity, while the court held that no legal principle prevents the collective from correcting such omissions ex officio. Consequently, the court ruled that the collective's subsequent answer to the unanswered question did not invalidate the proceedings.

SUMÁRIO

I - Nenhum princípio ou regra de direito impede que o Colectivo, oficiosamente, corrija os vícios das decisões que profere.

II - Assim, não constitui nulidade o facto de o Colectivo, dando-se conta de que deixara de responder a um quesito, ter suprido essa deficiência, respondendo-lhe.
