The Constitutional Court notified the applicants to clarify whether they would address the preliminary issue of non-knowledge of the appeal's object. The applicants failed to raise the specific constitutional norm before the lower court, and a disjunction existed between that norm and the one used by the lower court. Consequently, the Court decided not to examine the appeal because the necessary procedural prerequisites for constitutional review were not met.

3.ª Secção

Relator: Conselheiro Catarina Sarmento e Castro

Acordam na 3.ª Secção do Tribunal Constitucional

Tendo-se verificado, aquando da discussão do projeto de acórdão em Pleno de Secção, a possível existência de fundamentos para o não conhecimento do objeto do recurso, nomeadamente: i) a falta de suscitação perante o tribunal recorrido da norma ou normas cuja inconstitucionalidade se pretende que o Tribunal aprecie; ii) disjunção entre esta última norma e aquela outra que fundamentou o juízo proferido pela decisão recorrida, notifique os recorrentes para que, querendo se pronunciem sobre esta questão prévia do não conhecimento do objeto do recurso.
