The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the lower court's decision that a local fisherman's relationship with the boat owner constitutes a formal employment contract. The court ruled that despite the specific nature of fishing work, the fisherman worked under the owner's orders, direction, and supervision, creating a subordination link. Consequently, any dismissal must be based on just cause and preceded by a disciplinary process ensuring the worker's right to defense.

SUMÁRIO

I - Ainda que a prestação de serviço como pescador, em pesca local, tenha a sua especificidade, deve considerar-se como contrato de trabalho o vínculo que liga o pescador ao armador que sob as suas ordens, direcção e fiscalização trabalha, e daí que o seu eventual despedimento o seja só com justa causa e precedido de processo disciplinar proporcionando ao trabalhador todo o direito de defesa.
