204(46) On November 12, 1997, the Sala Corporativa Transitoria Especializada en
Derecho Público (Corporate Provisional Chamber Specializing in Public Law)
dismissed the complaint for lack of merit with respect to eleven plaintiffs and upheld
the complaint in respect of three plaintiffs, and ordered in relation to the latter that
“the Mayoral Resolutions directing their dismissals […] and any ensuing resolutions
be set aside; therefore the defendant shall reinstate the plaintiffs to their jobs with
the same rights, benefits and conditions of employment they enjoyed prior to
dismissal, with back pay for lost wages and other benefits from the date of
implementation of said resolutions to the date of reinstatement.”87 The Municipality
of Lima and the workers in respect of whom the complaint was dismissed for lack of
merit filed an extraordinary appeal for judicial review on constitutional grounds of
some aspects of the decision. On November 11, 1998, the Tribunal Constitucional
(Constitutional Court) affirmed part of “the decision of the Sala Corporativa
Transitoria Especializada en Derecho Público (Corporate Provisional Chamber
Specializing in Public Law) […] of November 12, 1997 […, and] reversed the part that
dismissed the complaint for lack of merits,” and, in amending the decision, the Court
held “the Mayoral Resolutions [ordering their dismissals…] inapplicable to the [11]
plaintiffs and ordered the Municipalidad Metropolitana de Lima (Metropolitan
Municipality of Lima) to reinstate the plaintiffs to their jobs or similar positions,
without back pay for lost wages.”88
