The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the appeal, permitting the plaintiff to jointly modify both the claim and the cause of action. The court held that such modification is valid provided it does not shift the case to a completely distinct legal relationship. Consequently, the procedural defect was cured because the underlying legal basis remained consistent with the original suit.
