The Tribunal da Relação do Porto partially allowed the appeal, revoking a previous decision that held the bank liable for a cheque's non-payment. The plaintiff argued the bank breached civil liability by refusing payment after revocation, while the bank contended the presentation was timely. The court ruled that the bank incurs no civil responsibility when the holder presents the cheque within the legal deadline, regardless of prior revocation.
