Unofficial summary in English. The judgment is published in Portuguese only, and only the Portuguese text is authentic.
A citizen lodged an ordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against the Luanda Court of Appeal judgment declining to hear his labour appeal by applying the new threshold to proceedings begun in 2016, under Article 2(3) of Law No. 5-A/21, alleging retroactive application and breach of access to the courts. The Court did not declare the rule unconstitutional and dismissed the appeal, since the right of appeal arises only with the decision and immediate application of new thresholds is legitimate.
