The Tribunal da Relação do Porto upheld the restriction on cheque usage, ruling it applies solely to account holders. The prosecution argued the measure should extend to authorized agents managing third-party accounts, but the court found no legal basis for this expansion. Consequently, the court determined the restriction does not cover individuals authorized to move funds on behalf of others.

SUMÁRIO

Do artigo 10, nº 1 do Decreto-Lei nº 14/84, de 11 de Janeiro, decorre que a restrição ao uso do cheque só impede o agente de movimentar por cheque contas de que ele seja o titular, não recaindo essa medida sobre as pessoas que estejam autorizadas a movimentar contas alheias.
