Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the worker's appeal seeking salary differences based on a newly recognized professional category. The plaintiff argued that the previous judgment did not definitively establish this new classification, while the employer relied on the principle of res judicata. The court ruled that since the professional category was already recognized by a final judgment against the same employer, the matter is conclusively settled and cannot be re-litigated.

SUMÁRIO

A categoria profissional reconhecida por sentença transitada em julgado não pode ser posteriormente apreciada em nova acção proposta pelo mesmo trabalhador contra a mesma entidade patronal a pedir as diferenças salariais relativas a essa categoria profissional, por a isso se opôr a autoridade do caso julgado.
