The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the lower court's decision regarding a donation dispute involving bank funds. The appellant argued the oral agreement was valid, but the court held that transferring money from a bank account without immediate physical delivery necessitates written form. Consequently, the oral donation was deemed invalid due to the lack of required written documentation.
