The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the lower court's judgment awarding interest on both material and moral damages from the date of citation. The appellant argued that interest should only accrue after the final judgment, but the court rejected this based on established civil liability principles. Consequently, the court ruled that interest is due immediately upon citation to compensate for the delay in payment.
