The Macau Court of Last Instance passed its final decision on the appeal filed by Eric Sautedé, a lecturer of political science licensed in 2014 by the catholic university (Universidade de São José – USJ) for reasons pertaining to the exercise of his academic freedom. Although the subject decision was against the academician and confirmed the termination of his contract as permitted in strict legal terms, the position of the judges was not unanimous and, in a declaration of vote, one of the judges considered USJ’s decision as arbitrary and the solution as inadequate and abusive.

We are very proud that FCLaw’s partner Miguel Quental defended Eric Sautedé in this prolonged case that served also as a source of discussion and debate in the Macau society on central matters such as individual rights and freedom and, in general, on the status quo of the local labour law.

FCLaw partner Rodrigo Mendia de Castro has participated for the second time in the 9^th Edition of the Lawyers Polo Tournament which was held this time at Plettenberg Bay in South Africa.
