Court of Appeal strikes outs appeals against awards to Portugeuse N7 motorway workers

Appeals against the €1m plus damages awards made to dozens of Portuguese workers who claimed they lived in terrible conditions when they were building a section of the N7 motorway have been struck out by the Court of Appeal.

Last year the High Court awarded the workers damages of over €1m for breach of contract against Portuguese companies Rosas Construtores SA, Constructocoes Gabriel AS Couto SA, and Empresa Deconstrucoes Amandio Carvalho SA.
