The Tribunal da Relação do Porto partially allowed the appeal regarding just compensation for public utility expropriation, establishing that the applicable law is the one in force at the time of the declaration. The court held that compensation must correspond to the normal market value of equivalent assets existing at that specific moment. This decision clarifies that subsequent legislative changes do not retroactively alter the valuation date for the expropriated property.
