A lawyer lodged an ordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against a Supreme Court judgment upholding the Angolan Bar Association's refusal to lift his professional secrecy so that he could reply in the media on behalf of his clients, alleging that Articles 65 and 66 of the OAA Statutes breached the right of reply. In its reasoning, the Second Chamber found these provisions consistent with the Constitution.
