A worker dismissed by Cabinda Gulf Oil Company Limited lodged an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against the Supreme Court Labour Chamber judgment overturning the annulment of his dismissal, invoking legality, the presumption of innocence, job security, effective judicial protection and a fair trial. The Court dismissed the appeal, as the decision rested on established facts rather than mere presumption and the disciplinary procedure had complied with the time limits of the General Labour Law.
