The Tribunal da Relação do Porto unanimously upheld the lower court's finding that the contract was for employment rather than service provision. The plaintiff, a university teaching assistant, argued her duties of lecturing and grading created an employment relationship, while the university contended it was a service contract. The court ruled that the nature of the work, specifically the obligation to exercise teaching functions under university regulations, satisfied the statutory definition of employment under the Labor Code.
