Abstract

This article focuses on the various mechanisms referred to in our legal system to prevent an unconstitutional rule can be applied. The constitutional reform of 2005 established a monopoly of control of constitutionality of the law and established the unconstitutionality with general purposes, in a manner analogous to the repeal. The repealed rules may receive posthumous application, what is known as ultra activity. However, in some cases, has been the ordinary judiciary who has due use some procedural remedies to avoid a repealed rule to take antagonistic effects to the Constitution.
