Case-law reporter's summary (what was argued and decided, in prose)

Demanda de inconstitucionalidad contra los artículos 5, 56, 68, 70, 74 y 80 (parciales) de la ley 336 de 1996, Estatuto General del Transporte.

El actor considera que la expresión “esencial” vulnera el artículo 56 de la Constitución y el bloque de constitucionalidad, en particular, los convenios 87 y 98 de la OIT.

La ausencia de argumentos que desvirtuaran la existencia de cosa juzgada, así como la carencia de especificidad y suficiencia en los cargos de inconstitucionalidad formulados, no permitieron a la Corte constitucional proferir un fallo de fondo.

La Sala se declara INHIBIDA para emitir pronunciamiento alguno, por la ineptitud sustantiva de la demanda.
