A former partner appealed against a Supreme Court judgment overturning an order requiring Angoalissar – Comércio e Indústria, Lda. to pay him dividends and compensation for his exclusion, invoking equality and the rights to private property and free economic initiative. In its reasoning the Court concluded that those principles and rights had not been infringed, as it is not its role to reassess the evidence or the merits of the case.
