Unofficial summary in English. The judgment is published in Portuguese only, and only the Portuguese text is authentic.
The appellant, dismissed by his employer, lodged an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against a Supreme Court judgment confirming that his right to challenge the dismissal had expired because the action was brought after the 180-day time limit in the General Labour Law, arguing that nullity may be invoked at any time. The Court dismissed the appeal: the time limit had expired, the Civil Code rule did not apply, and the appellant was seeking a review of the merits.
