SummaryUnofficial

Cabinda Gulf Oil Company lodged an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against a Supreme Court Labour Chamber judgment upholding its liability for unlawfully dismissing an employee, decided without a trial hearing, alleging breaches of effective judicial protection and fair trial and a contradiction between reasoning and decision. The Court dismissed the appeal because the law allows a case to be decided at the preliminary-ruling stage when the file permits, and the alleged contradiction did not exist.
