Indirect discrimination is any apparently neutral provision, action, criterion or practice that has the effect of putting one person at a disadvantage compared to another person based on the criteria stipulated by law, unless that provision, action, criterion or practice is justified objectively, through a legitimate purpose and if the means to achieve that purpose are proportionate, adequate and necessary.
In this line of ideas, the rule that obliges all lawyers to pay the mandatory medical assistance insurance premium, although it seems to be neutral, has the effect of disadvantaging lawyers with disabilities (having a deteriorated state of health, more limited possibilities to work, higher expenses for maintaining health, etc.) compared to lawyers without disabilities, thus generating a treatment contrary to the provisions of art. 16 in conjunction with art. 47 of the Constitution.
