The Tribunal da Relação do Porto annulled a lower court decision that ordered the defendant to pay a specific sum in British pounds sterling. The plaintiff had explicitly requested the judgment be rendered in Portuguese escudos, matching the exchange rate at the time of filing. The court held that the lower court erred by ignoring the plaintiff's clear procedural request regarding the currency of the award.
