The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the lower court's decision regarding a partial payment on a negotiable instrument. The appellant argued that partial amortization did not equate to full debt recognition or interrupt the statute of limitations. The court ruled that any partial payment serves as an acknowledgment of the debt, thereby legally interrupting the prescriptive period for the entire obligation.
