Thus the aim of this thesis is not only to analyse this legislation and provide a comprehensive and clear interpretation, including a critical evaluation of selected institutes, but also to introduce the process leading to its adoption, including a comparison of the arguments in favour of adopting such a decision with the arguments presented by the opponents of the criminal liability of legal entities. An equally important aim of the thesis is an analytical evaluation of application knowledge and the presentation of potential de lege ferenda proposals.

Chapter Two is dedicated to the fundamental change in the concept of legal entities brought about by the new Civil Code, which leans towards the theory of fiction, thereby causing considerable tension. On a global scale, the institute of the liability of legal entities...

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo estudar o financiamento da política no Brasil por pessoas jurídicas, a fim de evocar os riscos que gera para o processo de escolha dos governantes e a fase governamental. A análise dessas questões dá-se por meio de quatro chaves. A primeira trata da capitalização dos partidos políticos e candidatos, a qual demanda fixação de limites por meio de ferramentas de regulação que buscam equilíbrio nas campanhas eleitorais e no financiamento das atividades dos partidos. A segunda versa sobre os dados de eleições nacionais e de pesquisas empíricas sobre o resultado da participação de pessoas jurídicas, correlacionando-o com os efeitos colaterais do financiamento, quais sejam, a corrupção e a influência do poder econômico. O exame de alguns escândalos tem relevância na atualidade, sobretudo diante da possibilidade de subsidiarem reformas que se apresentam necessárias. A terceira aborda soluções encontradas em outros países para equacionar os efeitos da participação das pessoas jurídicas, com destaque para o debate da questão atinente à liberdade de expressão. A pesquisa revela que a Justiça Eleitoral e a jurisdição constitucional brasileira tiveram papel decisivo na conformação do financiamento da política. A quarta consiste na análise crítica das regras do ordenamento brasileiro, inclusive as decorrentes da reforma política, que visam equacionar os problemas diagnosticados no estudo, e das decisões da jurisprudência que lidaram com o princípio da igualdade. Ao final, alinham-se vantagens e desvantagens do financiamento da política por pessoas jurídicas. / The present work aims to analyze the political financing by legal entities in Brazil in order to evoke the risks for the process of choosing the rulers and the period of governorship. The analysis of the issues considers four keys. The first is about the capitalization of the political parties and the candidates, which demands the fixing of limits through regulation tools to seek the balance in the electoral campaigns and in the financing of the parties activities. The second one concerns the data of the national elections and the empirical researches on the result of the participation of legal entities, correlating it with the side effects of financing, in other words corruption and the influence of the economic power. The exam of some scandals is relevant in the present time mainly considering the possibility of subsidizing reforms that are presented as necessary. The third point considers the other countries solutions to balance the effects of the legal entities contributions especially the discussion of the issue pertaining to freedom of expression. The research reveals that the Electoral Courts and the Brazilian constitutional jurisdiction had a decisive role shaping the political financing. The fourth key is the critical analyses of the Brazilian legal system, including the rules resulting from the political reform, which intended to solve the problems identified in the study, and the case law which dealt with principle of equality. In the end, there is an evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of political financing by legal entities.

On account of this amplitude, as a rule, the discussions concerning this tribute raise the interest of studious people and contributors as well, who are always interested in verifying whether the demand to which they are being subject is in accordance to the rules of the system, and, on the other hand, whether there is basis to eventual contestations. Among such discussions the relevant one is related to the definition of income , in other words, the one that aims at specifying limits to the meaning of income for taxation purposes. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the meaning and understanding of the word income , what is viable from the analysis of facts that form this concept, the increases versus the decreases, the entries versus the expenditures. Under a practical perspective we notice a special complexity in the rules applied to the Income Tax concerning legal entities, due to the fact that in this field, individual concepts of accounting mix, making it more difficult or, at least, making the activity of the Legal Professionals more complex. Being aware of these features our objective in this present work is to broach the materiality of the Income Tax, regarding legal entities, aiming at formulating our concept of income, analyzing the system under the expenditures point of view. Thenceforth comes the importance that reveals itself, for the present study, of the definition of the concept of necessary expenses . It is worth mentioning, in addition, that in order to reach this goal we will start from the verification of constitutional statutes, once, in our view, it is in the Federal Constitution the basic guidelines of the concept of income , balanced by the principles that assure fundamental rights to contributors. Finally, we highlight that our motivation as to the choice of the topic now dealt with comes from the questions that are raised in the practical field, which, sometimes reflect on the jurisprudence positioning, denunciating the need for a deeper reflection on the topic / Regulado por regras esparsas e complexas, o Imposto de Renda é, sem dúvida, um dos principais tributos no Brasil, alcançando tanto pessoas físicas quanto pessoas jurídicas. Justamente por conta dessa sua amplitude é que, via de regra, as discussões concernentes a esse tributo despertam o interesse dos estudiosos e dos próprios contribuintes, sempre interessados em averiguar se a exigência a que estão submetidos está em conformidade com as regras do sistema e, de outra parte, se há embasamento para eventuais contestações. Dentre essas discussões, mostra-se relevante aquela relacionada à definição do conceito de renda , ou seja, a que busca precisar os limites do que seja renda para fins de tributação. Para tanto, imprescindível se faz a investigação sobre o sentido e alcance do vocábulo renda , o que resta viável a partir da análise dos fatos que compõe esse conceito, os acréscimos versus os decréscimos, as entradas versus os dispêndios. Numa perspectiva prática, notamos especial complexidade nas regras aplicáveis ao Imposto de Renda no âmbito das pessoas jurídicas, dado que a questão, nessa esfera, mistura-se a conceitos próprios da contabilidade, dificultando ou, no mínimo, tornando mais complexa a atividade do operador do direito. Cientes dessas características é que objetivamos, no presente trabalho, fazer uma abordagem da materialidade do Imposto sobre a Renda, no âmbito das pessoas jurídicas, buscando formular nosso conceito de renda, analisando-se o sistema sob a perspectiva dos dispêndios. Daí a importância que se revela, para o presente estudo, a definição do conceito de despesas necessárias . Vale dizer, ademais, que para que possamos alcançar esse objetivo, partiremos da verificação das normas constitucionais, eis que, a nosso ver, é na Constituição Federal que estão as diretrizes básicas do conceito de renda , equilibradas pelos princípios que asseguram direitos fundamentais aos contribuintes. Finalmente, salientamos que a nossa motivação quanto à escolha do tema ora tratado decorre das questões que são suscitadas no campo prático, que, por vezes, se refletem nos posicionamentos jurisprudenciais, denunciando a necessidade de uma maior reflexão sobre o tema

No. of bitstreams: 1 Pedro Paulo Barradas Barata.pdf: 993410 bytes, checksum: b58fa664fca20e477bebce150d3d77dd (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-09-29 / This work comes in response to the great controversy revolving around the applicability of the disregard doctrine to consumer relations. Legal scholars have long wrangled over this issue, some of whom advocate that the Brazilian Consumer Protection Code ended up stripping legal entities of their right to separateness of assets when it comes to consumer relations. As asset separateness and the limitation on liability of business companies are held to be two of the major pillars of the capitalist system, the relevance of this issue is unquestionable. This study thus proposes an interpretation of article 28 of the Brazilian Consumer Protection Code which conciliates these principles and the philosophical tenets of said Code, by offering a systematic and historical interpretation of such rule. To that end, this work will deal with the historical origins of the limitation on liability of legal entities, and its evolution in the US and UK legal systems. Further, this work will analyze the treatment accorded to the disregard doctrine in foreign laws, its background and the current rules applying to this doctrine under Brazilian law / A escolha do objeto deste estudo se deveu à grande controvérsia que o tema da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica desperta no âmbito das relações de consumo. A doutrina vem adotando posições antagônicas com relação ao tema, sendo que parte dos doutrinadores defende que o Código de Defesa do Consumidor teria revogado a autonomia patrimonial da pessoa jurídica nas relações de consumo. Sendo a técnica da separação patrimonial e a limitação de responsabilidade das sociedades empresárias dois princípios aparentemente fundamentais do sistema capitalista, é inegável a importância de que se reveste o tema. Este estudo pretende propor uma interpretação do artigo 28 do Código de Defesa do Consumidor que concilie tais princípios com a filosofia do Código, por meio de uma interpretação sistemática e histórica da norma. Para tanto, foi analisada a origem histórica da limitação de responsabilidade das pessoas jurídicas, sua evolução no Direito norte-americano e no Direito inglês. Ainda, analisou-se o tratamento que a desconsideração da personalidade jurídica recebe no Direito estrangeiro, sua origem histórica e disciplina atual no Direito Brasileiro

L'ordre public économique sociétaire est défini comme l'ensemble des règles de droit impératif et de principes d'ordre public qui jouent un rôle dans la structuration et l'organisation juridique des sociétés et la limitation de la liberté des particuliers dans cette structuration et organisation; les sociétés sont vues dans cette perspective comme les expressions juridiques des entreprises, organisations socio-économiques impliquant une multiplicité d'intérêts, mais aussi comme des « lieux » d'organisation du pouvoir privé économique, ne pouvant par conséquent être laissées absolument au jeu de la liberté contractuelle, notamment pour ce qui concerne les formes sociétaires les plus développées. Sous le terme français de montages on peut par contre regrouper des efforts de l'autonomie privée d'exploiter au maximum les marges de liberté en droit des sociétés, des efforts qui souvent se meuvent vers les limites du licite ou même poursuivent des finalités sans aucun doute illicites. Les montages peuvent être définis dans leurs rapports avec l'ordre public économique sociétaire, comme des efforts des particuliers d'aménager des effets de règles de cet ordre public, de contourner l'application normale de ces effets ou même d'instrumentaliser des blocs de règles de cet ordre public à des finalités atypiques ou même illicites. Les montages peuvent consister à des actes sociétaires de droit organisationnel (statuts, décisions des organes sociaux) ou à des actes relevant du droit des contrats (contrats de la société avec ses associés ou dirigeants, pactes entre associés - notamment actionnaires- ou des associés avec des tiers); ils peuvent aussi instrumentaliser les sociétés au delà de leur finalité type légale de constituer des formes juridiques d'entreprises-entités autonomes (ainsi les groupes de sociétés) ou même au-delà de toute utilisation comme formes juridiques d'entreprises. Il en résulte le besoin d'étudier les différents montages rencontrés dans la pratique des deux pays sous comparaison et l'attitude de leurs droits à l'égard de ces montages, en examinant les mécanismes de base du droit français et du droit grec pour le partage du licite et d'illicite, l'application de ces mécanismes dans la prise en compte des montages et les mécanismes de sanction des montages illicites. / The economic public order of the legal entities of commercial law (companies, partnerships,entities with limited liability of their members) is the total of mandatory rules and mandatory principles which act in the legal organization and structuring of the above entities and put the limits of the freedom of the individuals in this domain. ln this perspective, the entities of commercial law are seen as the legal expressions of the enterprises, socioeconomic organizations implicating a multitude of different interests, but also "places" of the private economic power, which cannot be totally abandoned in the domain of contractual freedom, especially regarding the most developed forms of such entities. The french term "montages" expresses on the contrary the endeavor of the individuals and of their autonomy to exploit to the maximum the margins of freedom let by the law of the entities of commercial law, moving often toward the limits between the legal and the illegal or even pursuing ends beyond doubt illegal. These montages can be defined in their relationship with the economic public order of the entities of commercial law, as the efforts of the individuals to adjust the normal effects of this public order, or to evade these effects, or to manipulate sets of rules of this public order to serve ends atypical or even unlawful. The montages can be acts of organizational law (acts of constitution, decisions of the organs of the entities of commercial law) or acts of the law of contracts (contracts of the entity with its members or directors, contracts between the members of the entities - especially shareholders-, contracts between these members and persons exterior to the entity) ; they can also use and manipulate the entities of commercial law themselves beyond their destination to be legal forms of enterprises-autonomous economic unities (especially this is the case in the groups of legal entities of commercial law) or even beyond any use as legal forms of enterprises. The result of these considerations is the need to study the different montages found in the practice of the two countries under comparison and examine the attitude of their laws toward those montages, by the examination of their basic mechanisms of distinction between the lawful and the unlawful and of the application of these mechanisms on the different montages and by the study of the mechanisms of sanction of the unlawful montages.
