The Constitutional Court granted the appeal filed by the Public Prosecutor and the District Hospital of Tomar regarding a prosecution for medical negligence. The court found that the lower court's decision to convict the hospital violated the principle of legal certainty and the right to a fair trial. Consequently, the conviction was quashed, and the case was remanded for a new trial consistent with constitutional guarantees.
