The Tribunal Constitucional refused to examine the constitutional challenge to Clause 140 of the Vertical Banking Collective Agreement. The applicant, a bank, argued the clause was unconstitutional based on prior reasoning, while the respondent was an individual employee. The court decided not to take cognizance of the appeal, effectively dismissing the claim without a substantive ruling on the clause's validity.
