  • Facts
    The plaintiff concluded an off-premises contract with the defendant for the purchase of goods that were delivered to the plaintiff with defects. Therefore, the plaintiff exercised his right of withdrawal within 14 days following the delivery of the goods and asked for the reimbursement of the amounts paid to the defendant.
  • Legal issue
    The court ruled that the off-premises contract concluded between the plaintiff and the defendant should be governed by Decree-Law No. 24/2014 of 14 February, which transposed the Directive 2011/83/EU of 25 October. As such, the plaintiff should receive the amount claimed pursuant to article 13 Directive 2011/83/EU (implemented into Portuguese law by article 12 Decree-Law No. 24/2014 of 14 February).
