SummaryUnofficial

A citizen lodged an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against a Supreme Court judgment upholding a decision, given in a negative declaratory action concerning a property in Luanda, that he held no rights over it, arguing that he had not been duly served because of an error in his identification. The Court allowed the appeal and declared the judgment unconstitutional for breach of the adversarial principle and of the right to a full defence.
