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 Luanda Court of Appeal judgment upholding the time-barring of her action, as she had challenged her dismissal after the 180-day period in Article 303 of the General Labour Law, invoking job security, effective judicial protection and a fair trial. The Court dismissed the appeal, as time-barring serves legal certainty and nothing had prevented the appellant from exercising her rights.
