The heirs of a property owner lodged an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against a judgment of the Full Court and Appeals Court of the Supreme Court upholding Joint Order No. 436/2007, which had the family's properties registered to the State for unjustified absence from the country, invoking the right to private property and insufficient evidence. The Court dismissed the appeal because it may not reassess facts or evidence, and the right to property had not been breached.
