The Constitutional Court decided not to examine the appeal filed by the applicant against the National Treasury and the Lisbon Social Security Regional Center. The applicant failed to raise the unconstitutionality of any legal norm during the original proceedings, instead attributing the defect to the contested decision. Consequently, the court ruled that the appeal lacks admissibility and ordered the applicant to bear the court costs.

TC_20040214
Constitutional Court dismisses appeal for non-compliance with procedural prerequisites for admissibility. The Court rejects the claim because the applicant failed to raise constitutional questions during the proceedings. Consequently, the Court maintains the summary decision refusing to examine the case. The ruling emphasizes strict adherence to procedural rules for constitutional challenges. The Court holds that procedural defects preclude constitutional review of administrative acts. This decision reinforces the requirement to raise constitutional issues at the earliest stage. The Court concludes that the appeal is inadmissible due to these procedural failures.

ACÓRDÃO N.º 180/93

Processo nº 588/92

Acordam na 2ª Secção do Tribunal Constitucional:

Nestes autos, em que é recorrente o A. e recorridos a FAZENDA NACIONAL e o CENTRO REGIONAL DE SEGURANÇA SOCIAL DE LISBOA,

- pelo essencial das razões constantes da exposição do relator, a que o recorrente não respondeu (ou seja, porque o recorrente não suscitou, durante o processo, a inconstitucionalidade de qualquer norma jurídica, antes imputando esse vício à decisão recorrida),

- decide-se não tomar conhecimento do recurso e condenar o recorrente nas custas, fixando-se, para o efeito, a taxa de justiça em cinco unidades de conta.
