Workers who had obtained, at first instance, an order against Sociedade Mineira do Uari to pay employment-related sums after a collective dismissal appealed against the Supreme Court Labour Chamber judgment upholding the company's objection of lack of standing. The Court allowed the appeal and held the decision unconstitutional for breach of the adversarial principle and fair trial, since the appellants had not been notified to respond to the objection, and remitted the case.
