The Constitutional Court denied the appeal filed by the Public Prosecutor against the tax authority. The case concerned a challenge to Article 25 of Decree-Law 411/91, which had already been declared unconstitutional in a previous binding decision. The court ruled that since the norm was already invalidated, the current challenge was unnecessary and lacked merit.
