The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa upheld the employee's claim that the employer unlawfully reduced their salary. The court found that Article 21(1)(c) of the Collective Labour Contract Regime explicitly guarantees workers against such diminution. Consequently, the reduction was deemed invalid, and the employer was ordered to restore the agreed remuneration.
