The Tribunal dos Conflitos declared the Lisbon Court of Appeal competent to hear a smuggling appeal previously decided by a Customs Tribunal. The Ministry of Public Prosecution challenged this, arguing jurisdiction should lie with ordinary courts under the new 1978 law. The court ruled that the old Constitution explicitly granted jurisdiction to Customs Tribunals for such crimes prior to the legislative change.
