ENSA – Seguros de Angola, S.A. lodged an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against a Supreme Court judgment upholding the partial success of its action against KUPOLU, SARL, holding that only the tenant could invoke the nullity of a commercial lease lacking a notarial deed, under Article 1029(3) of the Civil Code. The Court dismissed the appeal, since that wording, introduced by Decree-Law No. 67/75, was validly in force in Angola and was received into national law.
