Unofficial summary in English. The judgment is published in Portuguese only, and only the Portuguese text is authentic.
An employee lodged an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against a judgment of the Labour Chamber of the Supreme Court rejecting his challenge to his dismissal, arguing that the disciplinary proceedings were null because they were brought under the identity of a deceased relative that he used. The Court dismissed the appeal because the proceedings met the legal requirements, the employee having been heard and admitted using two identities, with no breach of legality or the right of defence.
