The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the appeal regarding the manager's liability for a post-dated cheque issued without funds. The manager argued that since the crime of issuing a cheque without provision was descriminalized, no civil responsibility could attach to the act. The court held that the descriminalization of the offense did not extinguish the civil liability for damages caused to the victim.
