Civil claim for damages dismissed because plaintiff failed to prove the cause of action in the criminal proceedings.

The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the civil action for damages because the plaintiff failed to provide evidence establishing the cause of action within the criminal proceedings. The plaintiff argued for compensation based on facts alleged during the criminal trial, but the court found no proof supporting the civil claim. Consequently, the court ruled that without a proven cause of action, the civil suit must be declared inadmissible.
