A presente dissertação examina o direito fundamental à garantia da razoável duração do processo, inserido explicitamente no inciso LXXVIII, do art.5, da Constituição Federal Brasileira de 1988, bem como a responsabilidade civil em caso de descumprimento desse preceito. O mencionado inciso foi acrescido pela Emenda Constitucional n. 45, promulgada em 08.12.2004, assegurando a todos, tanto no âmbito do processo judicial quanto do processo administrativo, o direito à razoável duração do processo e, ainda, os meios que garantam que sua tramitação se dê de modo célere. A abordagem sobre o tema desdobra-se em duas perspectivas, a saber: a primeira doutrinária pontuando o instituto no âmbito do ordenamento jurídico e seus reflexos no Direito Processual Civil Brasileiro e, ainda, identificando a responsabilidade civil pelo não cumprimento ao preceito normativo fundamental. Na segunda perspectiva, a abordagem apontará uma análise crítica do discurso jurídico, no campo normativo, do ato conjunto n. 001, de 21 de julho de 2008, do Tribunal de Justiça do Estado de Pernambuco que dispõe sobre regulamentação do direito à razoável duração do processo neste Estado. Como resultados, evidencia-se que não é apenas legislando que se proporciona uma dinâmica processual que culmina numa prestação jurisdicional eficaz, em tempo razoável, com resultado útil, mas, sim, propiciando suporte estrutural, através de repasse ao Poder Judiciário, de recursos adequados. / The present paper examines the fundamental right to a reasonable guarantee of the duration of proceedings, as explicitly set out in the Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988, in section LXXVIII, article 5, as well as civil liability in the cases of a breaching of this precept. The above-mentioned section was added in the Enactment of the Constitutional Amendment number 45 dated 08.12.2004 guaranteeing for everyone, both within the judicial proceeding and the administrative proceeding, the right to a reasonable guarantee of the duration of proceedings and, moreover, the means by which its procedures are carried out the quickest way possible. The approach to the theme unfolds in two perspectives, that is: the first is doctrinaire emphasizing the institute within the circuity of the legal system and its repercussion on Brazilian Procedural Civil Law and, moreover, identifying civil liability by breaching fundamental normative precepts. In the second perspective the approach will point to a critical analysis of the juridical discourse, in the normative field, of the common act n. 001 of July, 2008 of the Supreme Court of the State of Pernambuco which disposes the regulation of the law to a reasonable duration of proceedings in that state. As a result it becomes clear that it is not only in the making of laws that we can offer a more dynamic procedure which results in an effective judgment, within a reasonable period of time, and reaching a useful result, but instead, offering structural support through the forwarding of adequate resources to the Judicial Power.

LL.M. (Banking Law) / When a bank employee commits fraudulent acts within the course and scope of his employment, he renders the bank vicariously liable for his fraud. The logical conundrum is that since a bank never employs someone to commit fraud, and since fraud is thus never in this sense within the course and scope of his employment, should the bank never be liable for this fraudulent conduct? If this were the law, the public could potentially be defrauded with impunity, because those defrauded would be left only with a claim against a fraudster who likely has no assets. This dissertation examines the common-law doctrine of vicarious liability and illustrates the sometimes-haphazard manner in which courts have applied the underlying principle to the varying facts that arise. It will be shown that the application of the doctrine to cases involving fraud by bank employees is particularly inconsistent and unsatisfactory. It will be proposed that the solution lies in the development of the common law so as to promote the spirit, purport and objects of the Bill of Rights, and particularly section 25 of the Constitution. 2 This paragraph conceptualises the vicarious liability doctrine. Paragraph 2 considers the application of the doctrine by the courts, and points to inconsistencies in approach. The third paragraph deals briefly with the position in two common-law jurisdictions, Canada and Britain. The final paragraph proposes a solution to the observed inconsistencies: an employee acts in the course and scope of his employment for purposes of imposing vicarious liability when the employer’s right not to be arbitrarily deprived of his property in terms of section 25 of the Constitution is acknowledged, and his vicarious liability is limited to cases where there is a rational relationship between the employee’s fraudulent conduct and the scope of his employment, and not an arbitrary deprivation. In considering the South African cases, it readily becomes apparent that the courts have already instinctively adopted the approach of examining the nature and extent of the deviation by the employee from the scope of his employment, but have not done so in the context of the property clause ...

No. of bitstreams: 1 Leandro Cardoso Lages.pdf: 1778690 bytes, checksum: ae0d22f7d6bfdba6d3183b0df5933738 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-09-21 / This paper addresses the corporate over-indebtedness, especially the assumption of civil liability of financial institutions for the facilitated granting of credit to over-indebted companies that will not be able to meet the new financial obligations and, for this reason, will suffer with the increase of debt due to the incidence of interest and default charges, with repercussions on the default of financial obligations with other creditors. Therefore, the genesis of the work is based on the following question: Is there a responsibility for the financial institution that grants credit to a company that it is known that it will not be able to honor with the commitment assumed? If so, what are the contours of this responsibility? At first, the legislative matrix of over indebtedness is analyzed, whose concept arose in the Consumer Law, but also can reach the business activity. Subsequently, the mechanisms of analysis of credit risk, used by financial institutions and that allows them to check the possibility of payment of the applicants to credit, are verified. Finally, it is addressed the hypothesis of civil liability of financial institutions for the granting of credit to over-indebted companies focusing on the social function of contracts, the duty of collaboration, as well as the principles of company preservation, inherent risk and linkage to contracts. In the whole work there is reference to the repercussion of the debate on the legal protection of private investment / Este trabalho aborda o superendividamento empresarial, em especial a hipótese de responsabilidade civil das instituições financeiras pela concessão facilitada de crédito a empresas superendividadas que não conseguirão adimplir as novas obrigações financeiras e, por esse motivo, sofrerão com o incremento da dívida em virtude da incidência de juros e encargos moratórios, com repercussão no inadimplemento de obrigações financeiras junto a outros credores. Portanto, a gênese do trabalho parte do seguinte questionamento: há responsabilidade para a instituição financeira que concede crédito a uma empresa que sabidamente não terá condições de honrar com o compromisso assumido? Em caso positivo, quais os contornos desta responsabilidade? Em um primeiro momento analisa-se a matriz legislativa do superendividamento, cuja noção surgiu no direito do consumidor, mas também pode atingir a atividade empresarial. Em seguida, verificam-se os mecanismos de análise de risco de crédito utilizados pelas instituições financeiras e que lhes permite verificar a possibilidade de pagamento dos pretendentes a crédito. E, por fim, aborda-se a hipótese de responsabilidade civil das instituições financeiras pela concessão de crédito a empresas superendividadas sob o enfoque da função social dos contratos, do dever de colaboração, bem como dos princípios da preservação da empresa, da inerência do risco e da vinculação aos contratos. Em todo o trabalho há referência à repercussão do debate na proteção jurídica do investimento privado.

From this introduction, the work seeks to define the extent of arbitrators obligations, focusing in what the ethical codes and internal rules of arbitral institutions says about this duty and about preserving the impartiality and independence of the arbitrator. Although the Brazilian Arbitration Act has expressly given the arbitrators the very same treatment as the one given to Court judges for criminal law purposes, there is no specific provision regarding the civil liability of arbitrators. The second part is exposed the liability theory in Roman law, and the evolution of this institute in the Brazilian system, highlighting the possibility of state condemnation due to constitutional torts. Deals with the analogous application of the theory of civil responsibility of the judge to the arbitrator, pointing out the differences between the lawsuit and the arbitration procedure. Once defined the extent of arbitrator´s obligations and how the arbitrator may be liable, this paper will takes into account both contractual and jurisdicional aspects of the arbitrators activity / Esta dissertação destaca o papel do árbitro no âmbito da arbitragem, bem como os deveres que este assume quando aceita o encargo. A partir dessa introdução, o trabalho busca definir a extensão das obrigações do árbitro e a natureza jurídica da sua relação com os demais personagens da arbitragem, apresentando o enfoque que os códigos de éticas e regimentos internos das instituições arbitrais dão a essas obrigações, destacando especialmente os deveres da imparcialidade e independência do árbitro. Conquanto a lei de arbitragem brasileira tenha expressamente equiparado o árbitro ao juiz estatal para efeitos de legislação penal, não há, na lei, tratamento específico à questão da responsabilidade civil do árbitro. Por isso, na segunda parte do trabalho é exposta a teoria da responsabilidade civil no Direito Romano, e a evolução desse instituto no ordenamento brasileiro, com destaque para a possibilidade de condenação do Estado em decorrência de atos ilícitos jurisdicionais. Aborda-se a aplicação análoga da teoria da responsabilidade civil do juiz ao árbitro, ressalvando as diferenças entre o processo judicial e o processo arbitral. Definida a extensão das obrigações e a forma como deve o árbitro ser responsabilizado, levando-se em conta os aspectos contratuais e jurisdicionais da atividade do árbitro
