The Tribunal da Relação do Porto revoked the lower court's sentence regarding a claim for unjust enrichment. The plaintiff argued that the defendant's financial gain resulted from their own economic sacrifice, but the court found no direct causal connection between the two parties' situations. Consequently, the claim for unjust enrichment was rejected because the required legal correlation between the parties' financial changes was not established.

SUMÁRIO

No enriquecimento sem causa, a correlação exigida por lei entre a situação dos dois sujeitos traduz-se, em regra, no facto de a vantagem patrimonial alcançada por um deles resultar do sacrifício económico correspondente suportado pelo outro, correspondendo ao enriquecimento injusto de uma pessoa o empobrecimento de outra.
