Unofficial summary in English. The judgment is published in Portuguese only, and only the Portuguese text is authentic.
The Ministry of Finance appealed against a judgment of the Full Court and Appeals Court of the Supreme Court upholding the annulment of a civil servant's dismissal, invoking the principle of pursuit of the public interest and arguing that the 2010 Constitution did not apply to earlier facts. The Court dismissed the appeal because the disciplinary proceedings had not met legal requirements and the right to work was already among the fundamental rights of the 1992 Constitutional Law.
