Over the last decade the law of judicial jurisdiction has undergone profound changes in Canada. Chief among the factors that prompted evolution is the recognition of fairness as a guiding principle in the elaboration of jurisdictional rules. This thesis presents the consequences such recognition has already had and should have on the granting of freezing measures, those specific provisional measures aimed at freezing a defendant's assets pending litigation. / Having reviewed the freezing measures that can be obtained from Canadian courts, this thesis shows how concerns of fairness to the parties have questioned traditional grounds of jurisdiction and how it has affected the very availability of freezing measures. However, out of concerns of fairness to the plaintiff, Canadian courts with no jurisdiction to hear the merits of a dispute should be ready to assert jurisdiction for the limited purpose of freezing assets. / Finally, turning to the scope of those measures, this thesis deals with the issue of extraterritoriality. It is argued that out of concerns of fairness to innocent third parties courts should be extremely cautious in granting extraterritorial measures.

Com a vigência da Constituição Federal de 1988 a judicialização dos conflitos tomou força em razão do amplo rol de direitos tutelados. O Poder Legislativo e o Poder Executivo não cumpriram de maneira satisfatória a defesa e a preservação do meio ambiente, determinadas pela Carta Magna. Em razão disso, o povo passou a buscar a garantia do seu direito à vida digna através da interposição de ações judiciais. A atividade ativa do Poder Judiciário na seara ambiental passou a receber críticas por, supostamente, ferir a tripartição dos poderes, pois os juízes não são eleitos pelo voto popular. Busca-se demonstrar, através do método hermenêutico, que a judicialização dos conflitos ambientais, nada mais é do que a expansão do debate democrático através do processo judicial. No Direito Ambiental, o fenômeno da judicialização demonstra a sua relevância, especialmente pela postura ativa do Judiciário na preservação do meio ambiente e, consequentemente, da vida no planeta. / Since the Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988, the judicialization of conflicts has intensified, due to the wide range of rights protected. The Legislative and Executive branches have not met in a satisfactory manner, the defense and preservation of the environment, determined by the Constitution. As a result, the people began to seek assurance of their right to a dignified life through the judiciary. The active work of the Judiciary, in environmental matters, began to receive criticism for allegedly violating the tripartite division of powers, since judges are not elected by popular vote. It aims to demonstrate, through the hermeneutic method, that the judicialization of environmental conflicts is nothing more than the expansion of democratic debate through legal actions. In Environmental Law, the judicialization demonstrates its relevance, especially because of the judiciary's active role in the preservation of the environment and, consequently, of the life on planet.
