The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the lower court's dismissal of the insurance company's claim for subrogation against the insured. The insured's vehicle was damaged in a traffic accident, but it was later discovered that the driver had consumed alcohol exceeding legal limits. The court ruled that the insurance company could not exercise its right of recourse against the insured because the insured was not at fault for the accident.
