We do not have the ambition of completely cover the subject. The subject calls attention because in several occasions, most of the parties, benefited by a daily fine, deviate from the main goal of the lawsuit to pursue only the astreintes, because its value, timely increased, became so disproportional in comparison to the value of the matter in discussion, that such matter is no longer appealing. The astreintes, considering its indubitable comminatory nature, shall comply the debtor to fulfill, rapidly and willingly, the obligation imposed by the court ruling and it has to have a daily value defined with no understatement or exaggeration. Despite the fact that the experts agree upon the non existence of a maximum value, considering the law principles of proportionality and equitableness, it is important that the fine fixed by the Judge be compatible with the case and remains suitable with the obligation to be demanded from the debtor. The reason of the fine is not, and never was, to grant a unjust enrichment to anyone, considering that it benefits, mostly, the plaintiff. We will show, in the conclusion, that the astreintes, having a judicial nature and a specific goal, shall not be used as a way or an instrument to punish the unwilling debtor, once the Brazilian Civil Procedure Code, to such purpose, already has a more suitable alternative, which is the fine for contempt of court, that besides having its value defined by law (20% of the case value), what does not apply to the astreintes as above mentioned, has a different beneficiary, because the amount would be paid to the State / O presente trabalho tem por finalidade o estudo da utilização da multa diária prevista no art. 461 do Código de Processo Civil Brasileiro astreintes imposta ao réu como meio de conferir efetividade às decisões judiciais que determinam o cumprimento de obrigação de fazer, não fazer e de dar. Não temos a pretensão de exaurir o tema. O tema chama a atenção em razão da constatação de que, no cotidiano forense, não raras vezes, as cifras resultantes da imposição de multa periódica são manifestamente desproporcionais ao bem da vida perseguido no processo, tornando atraente para a parte beneficiária abandonar seu objetivo principal e mostrar-se mais interessada no recebimento das astreintes. As astreintes, em razão de sua indiscutível natureza cominatória, devem pressionar o devedor a cumprir, de maneira célere e espontânea, a obrigação que lhe foi imposta em decisão judicial e merecem ser arbitradas sem menosprezo ou exagero. Apesar de haver certo consenso entre os doutrinadores de que não existe limite de valor, com fundamento nos princípios da proporcionalidade e da equidade, é importante que a multa fixada pelo Juiz seja compatível e que guarde certa relação com a obrigação a ser exigida do devedor. O objetivo da multa não é, nem nunca foi, o de proporcionar o enriquecimento ilícito a quem quer que seja, já que ela reverte para o autor da ação. Demonstraremos, na conclusão, que tendo as astreintes natureza jurídica e finalidade próprias, não devem ser utilizadas como instrumento ou como meio para a punição do devedor renitente, já que para esta finalidade o Código de Processo Civil Brasileiro dispõe de ferramenta própria, ou seja, a multa por ato atentatório ao exercício da jurisdição, multa esta que, além de possuir limite fixado em lei (20% do valor da causa), o que não ocorre com as astreintes como dissemos acima, tem destinatário diverso desta, ou seja, a União ou Estado

The process for enforcing requires coercive methods, as civil prison or fines, compelling contemnor to enforce the order contained in the decision. In this line, it had the intention to approach the specific performance and the money judgments, and giving them an imperative protection from the Court order. The contempt of court institute was mentioned, that is, a typical institute of the common law system, whose aim is to assure the dignity of justice by imposing coercive and punishing procedures. After comparing the both systems civil law and common law the civil contempt was emphasized, a coercive procedure aiming to force him to execute the judicial order. An effective enforcement depends on respect to the administration of justice as corollary of due process of law / O presente estudo tem por objetivo sugerir soluções compatíveis com o sistema processual civil para a efetividade da tutela jurisdicional executiva, notadamente, para a problemática do descumprimento das ordens judiciais. Partiu-se da conceituação da decisão mandamental como tutela executiva, por comportar medidas executivas como meio de compelir o recalcitrante ao cumprimento do comando judicial contido na decisão. Nessa linha, houve a intenção de aproximar as obrigações de entregar coisa e as de pagar quantia, agasalhando-as sobre a proteção do comando judicial imperativo, que exorta ao cumprimento, sob risco de sanção. Trazendo a lume as medidas coercitivas aplicáveis ao devedor renitente, no sistema do common law, à moda do contempt of court, buscou-se ressaltar a eficácia dos provimentos executivos, com evidente superioridade em relação às parcas medidas de apoio permitidas no processo civil brasileiro. Deve-se ter presente que uma tutela executiva efetiva depende de uma ordem jurídica que coloca o respeito à administração da justiça como corolário do devido processo legal. Conclui-se a imprescindibilidade, para a efetividade da tutela executiva, do apoio das medidas coercitivas como a prisão civil e a multa diária nas situações autorizadas pelo ordenamento jurídico, no fim último de sancionar o devedor recalcitrante

Identification of a person suspected of a heinous crime before being charged risks prejudicing a fair trial. Present laws place this type of publicity outside the reach of sub judice contempt. This thesis argues there should be a change in the law of sub judice contempt making it an offence for the media to publish the fact that a person is under investigation until the person has been charged.

This thesis investigates whether institutional journalism should receive special treatment at the hands of the law. Special treatment encompasses the affording of benefits to and the imposition of liabilities on journalistic institutions and the individuals who work for them. The arguments against special treatment are pragmatic and theoretical: pragmatic arguments emphasise, inter alia, the difficulty of providing a definition of journalism, and theoretical arguments emphasise the difficulty in explaining why special treatment can be coherent. The former can be addressed by describing how special treatment is already afforded to institutional journalism, both liabilities and benefits, to individuals and institutions, and showing that some of the problems foreseen by the pragmatic arguments have not proved as difficult as they appear. The arguments that special treatment is incoherent can be addressed by arguing that the credibility and assessability of institutional journalism still provide a prima facie rationale for special treatment irrespective of the rise of public speech on the Internet, when combined with the integral nature of journalism to democracy. Two basic arguments are advanced why this is so. The first, the free speech values argument, is a consequentialist account that holds that special treatment is appropriate when (or because) institutional journalism contributes to free speech values. It is attractive, but presents difficulties, both when considered in the abstract and when applied to the free speech value of democracy. The second, a rights-based argument, based on the notion that freedoms of speech and of the Press are distinguishable, can be based on either on Dworkin’s theory of rights as trumps or Raz’s theory of rights as interests. Raz’s account is preferable, as it complements the free speech values thesis in explaining the coherence of special treatment.

The research approaches the judge powers, specifically the case management powers. Considering the issue s delimitation, new statutes and its practice are compared through the perspective of both countries. In conclusion, these judge powers have become similar due to the blending practices seen among different law families, as well as between different countries of the same family. However despite the convergence towards strengthening these powers the problems to be solved by these countries have distinct roots. In England the cost problem is the biggest one, while in Brazil the biggest problem is the delay. Moreover, despite their early convergence, the cultural roots of each system keep them somehow apart from one another. Thus it is not possible to state which would the best system (since they are unique) and the adoption of the English model by the Brazilian legislation should be done with caution (since the problems to be solved are different) / O presente trabalho é uma proposta de estudo comparado do direito processual civil inglês e do brasileiro. A tese é centrada no tema dos poderes do juiz, notadamente nos case management powers. Dentro do recorte proposto, são comparadas as normas e a prática judicial recentemente instituídas pelo direito de cada um dos mencionados países. Conclui-se que os poderes desses juízes tornaram-se bastante semelhantes em decorrência da assimilação mútua de práticas judiciais entre diferentes famílias do direito, bem como entre países distintos de mesma família. No entanto a despeito da convergência em torno do fortalecimento dos poderes do juiz os problemas a serem solucionados pelos referidos países têm raízes distintas. A Inglaterra tem como maior problema o custo, enquanto o Brasil tem como maior problema a demora. Ademais, a raiz cultural de cada sistema os mantém de alguma forma diferentes, apesar da aproximação recente. Por isso não é possível dizer qual dos sistemas seja melhor (já que são incomparáveis) e eventual importação do modelo inglês pela legislação brasileira precisaria ser feita com ressalvas (já que os problemas a serem solucionados são distintos)
