Legislator summary

AI generated

The Constitutional Court denied the applicant's appeal against a clause in the Lawyers' Statute that remained in force after a previous declaration of unconstitutionality. The court relied on its prior decision (No. 169/90) which had already confirmed the clause's constitutionality, finding no new grounds to overturn that established legal position. Consequently, the court rejected the challenge and confirmed the validity of the statutory provision.

Art. 24.º da CRP; Art. 27.º da CRP: When a norm previously declared unconstitutional is subsequently re-enacted or remains in force, the Constitutional Court must assess its constitutionality anew; if the same legal reasoning and facts apply as in the prior judgment, the norm remains constitutional and the appeal is dismissed.
