The Constitutional Court upheld the constitutionality of Article 9 of Decree-Law 154/91 while revoking the lower court's decision. The Ministry of Public Prosecution challenged the norm, arguing it violated constitutional principles, but the court found no such defect. Consequently, the lower court's ruling was set aside and remanded for reform in accordance with the court's constitutional assessment.
