(1) Yes, since it’s an extension of the 2012 contract with the same terms and conditions the 2012 signed contract it’s still binding except for the conditions stipulated by the Constitutional Court. An addendum stating out the conditions by the Constitutional Court has been drafted for both partners to sign.
(2) Yes the agreement is lawful.
