The Constitutional Court declared the appeal filed by three petitioners extinguished due to their subsequent withdrawal of the constitutional challenge. The remaining petitioner, R., had withdrawn their own appeal, leaving only a procedural matter regarding their new representation. Consequently, the Court ruled that no further examination was necessary, dismissing the case entirely.

Acórdão 219/98

ACÓRDÃo Nº 219/98

Proc. nº 405/96

1ª Secção

Rel: Cons. Assunção Esteves

Acordam no Tribunal Constitucional:

I - Neste processo, sendo recorrentes A.B., M., J., A.O., S., R. e recorrida, Fábrica de Porcelana Vista Alegre S.A., verifica-se que:

A) Os recorrentes M., J. e S. celebraram contrato de transacção extra-judicial com a Vista Alegre S.A., a que foi devidamente homologada pelo Supremo Tribunal de Justiça;

B) Os recorrentes A.B. e A.O. desistiram, entretanto, do recurso de constitucionalidade, o que foi admitido pelo relator.

C) Assim sendo, apenas subsiste o recurso interposto por R., o qual passou a ser representado por um outro advogado, com substabelecimento sem reserva, do advogado anterior.

II - Ora, pelos fundamentos da exposição prévia do relator, que aqui no essencial se retomam, decide-se:

a) Julgar extinto, por inutilidade superveniente, o recurso interposto pelos recorrentes M., J. e S..

b) Não tomar conhecimento do recurso relativamente ao recorrente R.. Custas por este recorrente em três unidades de conta.
