The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the appeal, confirming the lower court's decision regarding a lease termination statute of limitations. The appellant argued that the limitation period should run from the contract's end, but the court found the lease was for a continuous commercial activity. Consequently, the court held the limitation period begins only when the factual basis for the lease ceases, not upon contractual expiration.
