Legislator summary

AI generated

The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the appeal, confirming the lower court's decision that evidence presentation was barred. The appellant failed to attend the mandatory preliminary hearing scheduled in 1998, which legally precludes the introduction of new proof. Consequently, the court ruled that no further notification was required to allow the absent party to submit evidence.
