A citizen lodged an ordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against a Luanda Provincial Court judgment summarily rejecting his opposition to a provisional attachment order, seeking a declaration that Article 404(1) of the Code of Civil Procedure was unconstitutional. As the appellant died and no qualification of heirs was sought, the proceedings remained suspended for more than a year. The Court deemed the appeal abandoned and declared the proceedings terminated.
