Unofficial summary in English. The judgment is published in Portuguese only, and only the Portuguese text is authentic.
A worker lodged an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against a judgment of the Labour Chamber of the Supreme Court upholding the time-barring of employment claims against SONANGOL, EP, invoking the right to remuneration and the principles of constitutional supremacy and legality. The Court dismissed the appeal, since the judgment had reasoned its review of the facts and law on limitation, and the time bar precluded examination of the alleged breach of the right to remuneration.
