Acórdão 306/97

ACÓRDÃO Nº 306/97

Proc. nº 124/97

Cons. Messias Bento

Acordam na 2ª Secção do Tribunal Constitucional:

Recorrente: A.

Recorrido: B.

Nestes autos, vindos do Supremo Tribunal de Justiça, pelo essencial das razões da exposição do relator, para a qual se remete, tendo em conta que a recorrente não suscitou, durante o processo, a inconstitucionalidade, nem a ilegalidade, das normas que pretende ver apreciadas - o que ela própria reconhece -, decide-se não tomar conhecimento do recurso e condenar a recorrente nas custas, fixando-se em oito unidades de conta a taxa de justiça.
