The company BCI – Imobiliária brought an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against a judgment of the Labour Chamber of the Supreme Court ordering it to pay wages and compensation to a former employee, alleging double payment of sums already settled when enforcing the first-instance judgment and breach of the principles of equality and legality. The Court dismissed the appeal because merely withholding sums did not amount to payment and there was no duplication.
