Unofficial summary in English. The judgment is published in Portuguese only, and only the Portuguese text is authentic.
A dismissed worker lodged an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against the Supreme Court Labour Chamber judgment which calculated the sums owed by the employer on his starting salary rather than his salary at the date of dismissal, without ruling on the request for rectification referred to it. The Court allowed the appeal, as the Supreme Court had not considered all the parties' arguments, in breach of the principles of legality and adversarial proceedings.
