The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the lower court's judgment awarding damages for the deprivation of property against the owner's will. The plaintiff argued that the rental value of the lost item was the most direct measure of the loss, while the defendant contested the amount and the applicability of the fine. The court ruled that deprivation constitutes real damage compensable by rental value and that fines must be graded according to the infringement's gravity and the responsible party's economic situation.
