The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the appeal regarding the applicability of the prescription period extension to objective liability. The court held that the extension mandated by Article 498(3) of the Civil Code applies equally to liability based on fault and liability based on risk. Consequently, the claim was rejected because the extended prescription period did not bar the action in this specific context.
