The Constitutional Court declared unconstitutional a provision in the Labor Law that assigned labor credit disputes to civil courts. The Court held that after the 1977 Labor Law took effect, such disputes must be heard by labor courts. Consequently, the Court ordered the Supreme Court of Justice to reform its decision and apply the correct jurisdictional rule.

The court refuses to review the substantive interpretation of the statute by the lower court. The court states it cannot re-evaluate the lower court's reasoning on jurisdictional competence. The court notes the appeal does not address the specific constitutional issue previously decided. The court concludes that the lower court's decision remains valid despite the prior ruling.
