In order to answer the question, we investigated the possibility of producing evidence in appeals. The research was developed under a theoretical-doctrinal bias, analyzing four distinct aspects of the procedural phenomenon: the parties, the judge, the appeals and the evidence. It was analyzed when the parties can produce evidence in a court seat, the legal action of the trial for the production of evidence, which features involve the production of evidence and which evidence be produced after the typical investigation phase. This dissertation traces the beacons so that evidence can be produced after the time provided for procedural instruction. It was concluded that it is possible to produce evidence in a court seat, but this is not a rule, but an exception to the system and clarifies and complements the factual-evidential framework of the case or allows the decision to reflect the current state of the litigious object, with the insertion of facts and evidence supervenientes in the process / A presente dissertação teve como objetivo responder à questão se existe apenas um momento único e excludente de qualquer outro para a produção da prova no processo. Para responder à questão investigou-se a possibilidade de serem produzidas provas em sede de recursos. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida sob um viés teórico-doutrinário, analisando quatro aspectos distintos do fenômeno processual: as partes, o juiz, os recursos e as provas. Analisou-se quando as partes podem produzir provas em sede recursal, a atuação de ofício do juízo para a produção das provas, quais recursos comportam a produção de provas e quais provas comportam serem produzidas posteriormente à fase instrutória típica. O trabalho traça as balizas para que a prova possa ser produzida após o momento previsto para a instrução processual. Concluiu-se ser possível a produção de prova em sede recursal, todavia esta não é regra, mas exceção do sistema e se volta a aclarar e complementar o quadro fático-probatório do processo ou possibilitar que a decisão reflita o estado atual do objeto litigioso, com a inserção de fatos e provas supervenientes no processo

This dissertation purports to set out the requirements for locus standi in terms of section 38 of the Constitution, specifically when it comes to procuring standing in matters brought by way of a class action. In order to answer the question it is also necessary to look at the need for a class action procedure in the South African civil procedural law as this explains the courts' expansive approach in granting members and representatives standing before a court, specifically in cases where the common law traditional rules of standing and joinder would not suffice. Locus standi is concerned with the capability of an entity to be a participant in a matter before a court of law, having due regard to the applicability of the point in issue to the person of the litigant and its faculty to litigate. In accordance with common law prescriptions, locus standi of prospective litigants to obtain legal relief only accrues to those that have personally suffered harm or would suffer harm through the violation or threatened violation of their legally enforceable rights. In contrast to the above the procedural measures contained in section 38 of the Final Constitution of 1996 allow for representative actions to be brought on behalf of adversely affected parties where the dominus litis is not necessarily the violated party as well as the recipient of the fruits of successful adjudication. Sections 38(c) and (d) of the Final Constitution of 1996 established inter alia class actions and public interest litigation by expanding the common law mandated categories of persons capable of instituting legal proceedings. This dissertation researched the need for a procedural device such as the class action in a specific South African milieu characterised by inopportune social and economic circumstances. The class action is specifically engineered to accommodate large numbers of affected parties that do not need to be joined in a traditional manner. Judicial recognition of the benefits of the class action from a South African point of view must necessarily take into account the social and economic circumstances of the members in whose favour the procedure are implemented. Apart from the procedural advantages, this particular process provides for a diminishing effect of factors such as low income, lack of legal knowledge, lack of funds for legal assistance and nominal pecuniary claims that prevent litigants from vindicating their rights and approaching the courts single handed. The requirements for locus standi under the constitutional dispensation, with specific reference to the generous judicial approach to matters, specifically where fundamental rights are violated or threatened, were examined. It is submitted that these requirements will be of assistance when the citation of the parties is to be drafted. In order to institute action in terms of one or more subsections, a prospective litigant need to show that a right enshrined in the Bill of Rights have been encroached upon as well as sufficient interest in the relief sought. Some aspects related to locus standi but not necessary for procurement of standing were researched in order to contextualise the setting for the use of section 38 procedural measures. There are currently no formal requirements that litigating class or group members have to comply with. The lack of statutory regulatory sources has forced South African courts with inherent jurisdiction to create guidelines regarding the practical aspects of class action litigation. Unfortunately the judicial intervention in creating practical directives for prospective and current litigants to follow has not occurred without mishap. Even though the question of whether the class action procedure is the suitable method to adjudicate the matter does not have a direct bearing on the standing of a party, it is an important aspect to consider when one evaluated possible courses of action. The correct procedure is invaluable when the court is asked to grant parties leave to litigate in accordance with the class action procedure. From a procedural point of view, the court must assist in directing parties as to the preferred manner to proceed with the matter. It was found that the courts have mistakenly held that compliance with certain unique procedures specific to class actions is necessary in order to procure locus standi. Even though an extended application of section 38(c) is favoured, any consideration thereof must take the express introduction by way of legislation into account that sets out the practical aspects of this mechanism. In the socio–economic state of affairs currently prevailing in South Africa, the high costs of legal assistance, countered with the complexity of procuring state provided legal aid, deters many a plaintiff to obtain civil justice. In this respect it can be said that the adjudicative approach of group action proceedings should accommodate a contextualized social setting. The goal is ultimately to expound a device suited and shaped to accommodate both the legal and extra–curial settings of South Africa. / Dissertation (LLM)--University of Pretoria, 2011. / Procedural Law / unrestricted

O presente trabalho objetiva estudar sobretudo a valorização dos precedentes no processo civil brasileiro, com especial atenção para os mecanismos indutores da criação de precedentes, observando se há benefícios para a efetividade da tutela jurisdicional. São traçados breves contornos do que constitui um precedente judicial, da ratio decidendi e dos obiter dicta, dos precedentes verticais e horizontais, bem como da classificação das normas segunda sua abstração e generalidade e, por fim, da teoria econômica dos precedentes. Depois, se estudam os principais mecanismos de valorização dos precedentes encontrados no processo civil brasileiro vigente, sobretudo no Código de Processo Civil de 1973 (CPC-73). A seguir, a valorização dos precedentes é estudada do ponto de vista dos conflitos repetitivos, a relação entre demandas que veiculam questões repetitivas, e como isso afeta a indução da criação de precedentes. Ao final, estuda-se com maior atenção o incidente de resolução de demandas repetitivas, previsto no Anteprojeto de Novo Código de Processo Civil, sua origem, institutos similares de outros países e, ainda, eventuais dificuldades ou sugestões de alteração indicadas pelo direito comparado. Conclui-se o trabalho, então, tecendo-se alguns comentários a respeito de como as técnicas de valorização dos precedentes, que induzem a criação de precedentes (como o incidente estudado) poderiam melhor atender ao fim colimado, que é a efetividade da tutela jurisdicional / This work aims mainly at the study of the valorization of precedents in Brazilian civil procedure, with special attention to the precedent creation mechanisms, observing if there are benefits for a more effective adjudication (in lieu of the scopes of the jurisdiction). We streamline the main contours of a judicial precedent, its ratio decidendi and obiter dictum, the vertical and horizontal precedents, as well as the classifcation of legal rules according to their abstraction and generality and, at last, the economical theory of precedents. Then, we study the main mechanisms of valorizing precedents in Brazilian civil procedure in force, especially in the Civil Procedure Code of 1973 (CPC-73). Following that line of thought, the valorization of precedents is seen from the viewpoint of the repetitive litigation, the relation between repetitive lawsuits, and then how it afects the inducement of precedent creation. Afterwards, the attention is focused on the to-be-created incident of resolution of repetitive lawsuits (as of the Draft of New Brazilian Civil Procedure Code), its origins, similar mechanisms of other countries, and possible difficulties or recommendations inspired by the foreign law for amendment of the draft. Lastly, the work is closed by shedding some light on how the techniques for valorization of precedents could better serve the aim collimated, which is the effectiveness of jurisdictional protection.

Although it represents expression of legal certainty regarding lawsuits, as a Democratic State manifestation in judicial functions, intensive discussions about the possibility to relativize such institute are not recent, even without express statutory permission. The existence of a considerable number of precedents obtained by fraud, and others absurd, unjust, illegal and even unconstitutional means justify, according to legal experts, the positioning for withdrawal of res judicata protective mantle, in order to enable the case new discussion. On the other side, many are reticent about that, because preserving stability in legal and social relations. This study aims to examine arguments favorable and against, and the means available for claim preclusion disregard / A coisa julgada, assim como outros institutos do direito processual, teve a sua compreensão alterada com o decorrer dos tempos. Embora seja expressão da segurança jurídica no âmbito do processo, oriunda da manifestação do Estado Democrático de Direito no desempenho da função jurisdicional, não são recentes os debates sobre a possibilidade de sua relativização, mesmo sem expresso permissivo legal. A constatação da existência de um número considerável de sentenças obtidas mediante fraude e outras tantas absurdas, injustas, ilegais e até mesmo inconstitucionais justificaram o posicionamento de grandes juristas pela retirada do manto protetor da coisa julgada nesses casos, de modo a se possibilitar a rediscussão da causa. De outro lado, outros se mostraram reticentes sobre a relativização, sob o argumento da preservação da estabilidade das relações jurídicas e sociais. Este trabalho se propõe a analisar os argumentos favoráveis e contrários à relativização, bem como os meios dispostos para sua desconsideração

This is because the new law does not discipline the appeal plan according to the content of judicial decision-making. Therefore, there are equal situations in substance that have been disciplined differently by the legislator, a fact that leads to a situation that violates the isonomy and the legal process. Suffice is to imagine that the legislator did two little alterations, but that had a great impact on the system. The first alteration was to establish a criterion to define the sentence, i.e., observing the content of the pronouncement and its purpose, that is, whether or not a phase that takes to the procedure end. From that point on, it conferred on the decisions a nature of interlocutory decision. In another aspect, it also allowed a partial retention of merit, in the cases of requests made in cumulation. The Code also maintained the principle of correspondence to the establishment that is the appropriate appeal against the sentence, it is an appeal and against an interlocutory decision and interlocutory appeal. However, in disciplining the legal regime of the grievance, there was not the necessary adequacy so that the appeal could in fact challenge the decisions of merit, insofar as the original discipline of the resource was maintained as if it existed, for to attack incidental decisions without regard to the merits of the case. Moreover, the entire recursal system is based on the sentence, as if this is the only pronunciation capable of resolving a pretension of the parties, but, of course, the interlocutory decision can also resolve the merits. Thus, our investigation will go through the nature of judicial decision-making, appeals and at the and the final, it will purpose that these institutes are interpreted according to the Federal Constitution, in order that we can adapt the recursal system in an isonomic way and in attention to the legal process / O presente trabalho se dedica em apresentar uma tentativa de sistematização do sistema recursal brasileiro instituído pelo Código de Processo Civil de 2015. Isto porque a nova lei não disciplinou o plano recursal de acordo com o conteúdo dos pronunciamentos judiciais decisórios. Por isso, há situações iguais em substância que foram disciplinadas de forma absolutamente diferente pelo legislador, fato que leva a uma situação que viola a isonomia e o devido processo legal. Basta imaginarmos que olegislador fez duas alterações pontuais, mas que foram de grande impacto nosistema. A primeira foi estabelecer um duplo critério para definir sentença, ou seja, observando o conteúdo do pronunciamento e a sua finalidade, vale dizer, se encerra ou não uma fase do procedimento. A partir desse ponto, conferiu às demais decisões natureza de decisão interlocutória. Noutra vertente, permitiu, também, a prolação de decisões parciais de mérito, nas hipóteses de pedidos feitos em cumulação. O Código manteve, ainda, o princípio da correspondência ao estabelecer que o recurso cabível contra a sentença é a apelação e contra a decisão interlocutória é o agravo de instrumento. No entanto, ao disciplinar o regime jurídico do agravo de instrumento, não houve a adequação necessária para que o recurso pudesse, de fato, impugnar as decisões de mérito, na medida em que se manteve a disciplina originária do recurso como se existisse, tão somente, para atacar decisões incidentais sem relação com o mérito do processo. Além do mais, todo o sistema recursal é baseado na sentença, como se se esta fosse o único pronunciamento capaz de resolver a pretensão das partes, mas, evidentemente, a decisão interlocutória também pode resolver o mérito. Assim, nossa investigação passará pela natureza dos pronunciamentos judiciais decisórios, dos recursos e, ao final, proporá que esses institutos sejam interpretados conforme a Constituição Federal, a fim de que possamos adequar o sistema recursal de forma isonômica e em atenção ao devido processo legal

In the sequence, there is a chapter about the legal system in a generic way, its autonomy, the notion of system and the relation found in the studied disciplines; in a specific way, an approach of hermeneutic matters is checked to foundation and implementation of the norms of the civil procedure to the labor procedure.

1 ABSTRACT European international law - selected issues The subject of this thesis is an analysis of a new procedural measure of European law - European order for payment (hereinafter as "EOP") and exploration of its application in practice from the perspective of the Czech plaintiff and Czech court. I have chosen this topic because of my own experience concerning cross-border debt recovery through the EOP. In this context, I decided to find out how this legal measure works in practice with regard to its purpose of providing a simplified, accelerated and cost effective procedure for the recovery of uncontested pecuniary civil and commercial claims in cross-border cases. In the final part of the thesis, I made the conclusion that the Council Regulation 1896/2006 of 12 December 2006, in creating a European order for payment procedure, (hereinafter as "REOP") meets its objectives and its implementation is a valuable asset to the creditors against non paying debtors. The thesis is divided into 3 parts. The first part is as an introduction to European private international law containing five chapters. The first and second chapters explain the concepts of private international law and European private international law. The third chapter deals with their mutual relationship. The fourth chapter describes the...

Esta pesquisa foi realizada mediante averiguação bibliográfica de legislação, doutrina e jurisprudência pátrias e estrangeiras, em âmbito processual civil e penal, sob o enfoque comparativo no que diz respeito à persuasão racional e às limitações probatórias incidentes em ambas as sedes analisadas. O estudo adota como referencial teórico a concepção de Dworkin do direito como integridade, em compatibilização com a doutrina da prioridade local que determina o respeito aos limites das subdivisões do direito, delineadas na prática pela comunidade , ao analisar a diversidade de princípios morais, políticos e jurídicos subjacentes ao sistema de apreciação das provas no direito processual civil e no direito processual penal. As limitações ao livre convencimento, (traduzido na fórmula da persuasão racional), são avaliadas na medida em que influenciem ou contribuam para a análise dos sistemas de apreciação adotados, sem pretensão de esgotamento do tema das limitações probatórias. A comparação dos sistemas de persuasão racional civil e penal é realizada sob a perspectiva das tendências a um processo ideal e garantista em cada uma destas esferas. A partir desta avaliação, é demonstrado que, embora seja usual a assertiva de que ambos os sistemas se guiem pela livre persuasão racional do juiz quanto à apreciação das provas, a aplicação desse princípio se materializa de maneira diversa no processo civil e no processo penal, devido às distintas finalidades e estruturas de cada um dos processos que, por sua vez, são determinadas por princípios morais, políticos e jurídicos de ordem diversa. / The present study was conducted based on a bibliographic examination of Brazilian and international legislation, doctrine and jurisprudence comparing civil and criminal procedures in respect of rational persuasion and probative limitations occurring to the two areas under analysis. The theoretical reference for this study was based on Dworkins concept of the right as integrity compatible with the local priority doctrine which establishes respect to the limits of Law subdivisions, outlined in practice by the community, when analyzing the diversity of moral, political and legal principles that underlie the system for evidence consideration in civil procedural Law and in criminal procedural Law. Limitations of free persuasion, (translated into the rational persuasion formula) are evaluated in as much as they influence or contribute to the analysis of the consideration systems adopted without intending to exhaust the theme of probative limitations. Comparison of the systems of civil and criminal rational persuasion is made from the perspective of trends to an ideal and assured procedure in each one of these spheres. From this evaluation, we demonstrate that, although it is an usual assertion that both systems are guided by the Judges free rational persuasion as to evidence consideration, application of this principle to civil or criminal procedure differs due to distinct purposes and structures of each one of the procedures which, in turn, are determined by moral political and legal principles of a different order.
