The Constitutional Court of Portugal denied the Public Prosecutor's appeal against a law declared unconstitutional with general binding force. The Ministry of Public Prosecution challenged the mandatory nature of the prior declaration of unconstitutionality issued in a previous ruling. The court upheld the original decision, confirming that such declarations automatically invalidate the law for all parties without further review.
