Pedro Matias Pereira, a managing associate in TELLES' public law and urban planning practice, was quoted in an ECO newspaper article in which he commented on the request for the Constitutional Court to review two rules introduced to the labour code by the Decent Work Agenda.
The lawyer specialising in constitutional law explains how the Constitutional Court's successive abstract review process works. He highlights the complexity and deadlines normally associated with this type of case and notes that analysing the draft ruling “can take weeks or even months, which is normal for complex cases and/or those with major social repercussions, such as labour standards”.
Pedro Matias Pereira goes on to outline the various stages of the procedure, emphasising that approval of the draft ruling does not signify the conclusion of the process: “Successive abstract reviews usually take a long time to decide. The analysis of the last labour reform, for instance, although it has been carried out during the pandemic, took around three years.”
The request for review concerns two rules that allegedly restrict the fundamental right to private economic initiative without respecting the principle of proportionality.
