Brazil judge annuls billion-dollar decision against Petrobras

BRASILIA, July 28 (Reuters) - Brazil Supreme Court Justice Alexandre Moraes has annulled a decision that would have required state-run oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA to pay billions of dollars in a labor dispute, according to court documents seen by Reuters on Wednesday.

Moraes in 2019 had already suspended the proceedings before a labor court into whether Petrobras, as the company is commonly known, owed additional wages to employees. At that time, the dispute was estimated to have a possible impact on the company of 17 billion reais ($3.32 billion).
