SummaryUnofficial

The co-owners of a confiscated urban building lodged an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against the judgment of the Supreme Court's Full Court and Appeals Division upholding the confiscation, invoking the principle of legality, the right to private property and the Public Appropriation Law. The Court dismissed the appeal, as the owners' absence had not been shown to be justified and Article 97 of the Constitution safeguards confiscations carried out in accordance with the laws then in force.
