Legislator summary

AI generated

The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the plaintiff's request for specific performance against a third-party buyer. The court found that the underlying contract-promissory agreement lacked real effect, rendering the promisor unable to enforce the sale against a subsequent purchaser. Consequently, the court held that the creditor's rights remain ineffective vis-à-vis the third party, regardless of their knowledge of the prior agreement.
