AI generated

The Tribunal da Relação do Porto upheld the seizure of bank accounts by the creditor, rejecting the debtor's objection that the account number was missing. The court found that identifying the specific bank and counter was sufficient to locate the funds under the applicable civil procedure code. Consequently, the seizure order was validated as legally adequate without requiring the precise account number.
