The Tribunal da Relação do Porto partially revoked a 1995 decision regarding malicious litigation and abuse of process. The appellant argued that the lower court failed to properly address the defendant's bad faith conduct under the Civil Procedure Code. The court held that while the initial finding of malice was correct, the procedural application required correction to align with the statutory requirements for such sanctions.
