The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the lower court's decision dismissing the appeal regarding the invalidity of a juridical act. The appellant argued the contract was void due to a specific legal defect, but failed to meet the burden of proof. The court ruled that the party claiming a vicio must actively allege and substantiate the factual elements constituting that defect.
