This article aims to analyze the effects of default in the Brazilian legal system, considering its occurrence and estoppel. Default occurs when the defendant does not present a defense or does not appear in the case, generating consequences in relation to the production of evidence, presumption of veracity of the facts alleged by the author and granting of procedural benefits. In this study, a survey will be carried out of the main legal provisions and jurisprudential understandings, both infra-constitutional and infra-constitutional, that address the matter. In the Brazilian legal system, by default is a situation that occurs when the defendant does not present a defense or does not appear in the case, resulting in consequences that vary according to current legislation. Default is a relevant topic in the legal context, both for the doctrinal field and for the practical actions of legal professionals. In this article, an analysis will be made of the effects of default, considering its occurrence and estoppel, based on infraconstitutional and infraconstitutional grounds. 1. Concept of default and its occurrence Default occurs when the defendant does not offer a defense or does not appear in the case within the legal deadline. In this scenario, the process continues normally in relation to the plaintiff, without the need to wait for the defendant's defense. The most fundamental legal provision that deals with default is article 344 of the Code of Civil Procedure, which establishes the effects arising from the lack of defense. 2. Effects of default on civil proceedings - Presumption of veracity: one of the main effects of default is the presumption of veracity of the facts alleged by the author. Those factual and legal aspects alleged in the initial petition are now presumed to be true, except in cases where the law establishes otherwise. - Burden of proof: with default, the burden of proof is reversed. This means that the plaintiff will not need to produce evidence about the facts alleged in the initial petition, and it will be up to the defendant to try to prove the opposite. - Procedural prerogatives: the defaulting defendant may have his rights curtailed in relation to procedural prerogatives, such as taking a personal statement from the plaintiff, producing testimonial evidence and presentation of expert questions. 3. Preclusion of default Preclusion is the loss of a procedural faculty, occurring in various situations provided for by law. In the specific case of default, there are limits to the application of the effects of non-challenge. For example, the defendant in default may manifest himself at a later time, before the sentence is handed down, requesting the performance of a certain procedural activity or specifically contesting some of the facts alleged by the author. 4. Applicable jurisprudence The jurisprudential practice in relation to the effects of default is diverse. Some courts understand that, even in default, it is necessary for the author to produce evidence to support the alleged facts. Other courts adopt the position of absolute presumption of veracity of the facts alleged in the initial petition. The analysis of these jurisprudential positions is essential to guide the actions of legal practitioners in specific cases. Conclusion: Default is a procedural institute that brings relevant effects to the Brazilian legal system. Its effects may vary according to current legislation and the doctrinal and jurisprudential interpretation applied. It is important that legal professionals are aware of the effects of default and its estoppel, in order to guarantee the correct application of the law and respect the fundamental principles of civil procedure.

In the Brazilian legal system, the obligation propter rem of the property is a fundamental figure to guarantee the social function of property and protect the collective interests of third parties. Through this obligation, the owner of a property is legally bound to certain responsibilities, regardless of whether or not he is directly responsible for the situation that generated the obligation, according to the Civil Code and Federal Constitution. The propter rem obligation is provided for in article 1,299 of the Brazilian Civil Code, which establishes that real rights over real estate are only acquired with registration at the Notary's Office of Property Registration. This legal provision defines that obligations relating to the property accompany the asset, regardless of who the owner is. This peculiar characteristic of the propter rem obligation has the main objective of guaranteeing the legal security of transactions involving real estate and protecting collective interests that may be affected by the inappropriate or negligent use of the property. In addition to the Civil Code, the obligation propter rem finds constitutional support. Article 182 of the Federal Constitution establishes that urban property fulfills its social function when it meets the fundamental requirements of city ordering, thus determining the link between property rights and the fulfillment of certain obligations in favor of collective well-being. In this sense, the obligation propter rem is strictly related to the social function of property, being essential to guarantee the harmony and balanced development of urban areas. The practical application of the obligation propter rem can be observed in several cases, such as the owner's responsibility to pay condominium fees, even if he does not live in the property, IPTUS, or the obligation to keep the property in good condition to preserve the safety of neighbors and the community in general. These obligations arise directly from the link between the property and the rights of third parties or collective well-being, regardless of the owner's personal relationship with these rights or interests. Conclusion: This time, we can conclude that the obligation propter rem of the property is an essential legal figure to guarantee the protection of collective and third-party interests, as well as to ensure compliance with the social function of the property. Based on the Civil Code and supported by the Federal Constitution, this obligation establishes that certain responsibilities are inherent to the property, regardless of who the owner is. The mandatory obligation propter rem is crucial for social order and urban development, promoting harmony between individual and collective rights and ensuring the preservation of the well-being of the entire community. In addition, balancing the interests of the parties involved, establishing responsibilities and ensuring legal certainty, however, it is necessary for legal operators to act coherently, considering the particularities of each case and promoting justice in the context of real estate relations. Regardless of the notes declining the obligation propter rem it continues to be the subject of studies and debates in doctrine and jurisprudence, whatever view new challenges that arise with constant social and technological transformations, therefore requiring constant evolution of law to keep up with these changes.

According to current legislation, creditors have the right to request the bankruptcy of a company when there is default in paying its debts. In this context, this article will examine the situations in which creditors can resort to this legal remedy, as well as the impacts of this request on business operations and judicial recovery strategies. 1.Legal Aspects and Causes for Filing for Bankruptcy: As provided for in the Bankruptcy Law (Law No. 11,101/2005), creditors may request the bankruptcy of a company when proven default in its obligations. This may occur after unsuccessful attempts to negotiate or renegotiate debts. Furthermore, financial mismanagement or fraud on the part of the debtor company may also be grounds for a bankruptcy filing by creditors. 2.Immediate Effects on Business Operations: The bankruptcy filing by creditors triggers a series of immediate effects on business operations. The company's assets may be frozen, impacting the ability to obtain credit and the continuity of activities. Suppliers and commercial partners may adopt a more cautious stance, increasing operational difficulties. Furthermore, the company temporarily loses control over its assets, which are now managed by a court-appointed judicial administrator. 3. Judicial Recovery Strategies and Challenges After Filing Bankruptcy: After filing for bankruptcy, the debtor company can seek judicial recovery as a way to reverse the situation. However, the bankruptcy filing by creditors can complicate this process, since the interests of creditors may conflict with the objectives of the company in recovery. The company must present a viable and coherent restructuring plan to persuade creditors and the court to approve its recovery. 4.Consequences for Stakeholders: _11100000-0000- 0000-0000-000000000111_ The effects of the bankruptcy filing by creditors extend to the company's various stakeholders.

This article addresses the form of constitutionality control in Brazil, investigating its mechanisms, legal basis and the impact that its decisions generate on the country's legal order. With both the Federal Constitution and jurisprudence as a backdrop, this study explores how constitutionality control acts as an essential pillar in guaranteeing constitutional supremacy and protecting fundamental rights, while maintaining the cohesion and concatenation of the analyzes carried out. Constitutionality control, as a cornerstone of the Rule of Law, presents itself as a vital instrument to maintain the integrity of the Brazilian legal system. This article aims to dissect the different mechanisms through which constitutionality control occurs, evaluating the underlying legal support and exploring the repercussions that such decisions have on the country's legal order. 1. Constitutionality Control Mechanisms: Brazil adopts a hybrid system of constitutionality control, encompassing diffuse and concentrated systems. In the diffuse system, any magistrate or court, upon finding the possible incompatibility of a law with the Constitution, can apply the principle of non-reception, ensuring that the unconstitutional rule is not applied in the specific case. In the concentrated system, through Direct Actions of Unconstitutionality (ADIs) and Declaratory Actions of Constitutionality (ADCs), the Federal Supreme Court (STF) assumes the prerogative of being the last instance to resolve issues of unconstitutionality, providing uniformity to decisions and avoiding jurisprudential heterogeneity. 2. Supremacy of the Constitution and Protection of Fundamental Rights: The legal basis of constitutionality control rests on the premise of the supremacy of the Constitution, established in article 102 of the Federal Constitution of 1988. This principle, combined with article 5, which enshrines the rights and fundamental guarantees, gives rise to the declaration of unconstitutionality of rules that contradict these provisions. In this sense, constitutionality control plays a crucial role in the protection of fundamental rights, ensuring harmonization between normative acts and constitutional precepts. 3. Impact on Legal Relations: Decisions made in constitutionality control processes have effects that transcend the parties involved in the litigation. The binding force of these decisions, as provided for in article 102, § 2, of the Constitution, extends to all bodies of the Judiciary and public administration, impacting the validity and effectiveness of the rules declared unconstitutional. 4. Constitution and Jurisprudence as Sources of Constitutionality Control: The control of constitutionality, intrinsically linked to the Federal Constitution, finds a normative basis in article 102, section III, which gives the STF the competence to judge ADIs and ADCs. Furthermore, the STF's consolidated jurisprudence plays a fundamental role in establishing interpretative parameters, supporting the coherence and predictability of decisions. 5. Limits and Challenges of Constitutionality Control: Despite its importance, constitutionality control also faces challenges, such as excessive judicialization and an overload of demands at the STF. The complexity of some cases can generate heated debates and interpretative disputes, demonstrating the need for a balance between legal stability and flexibility in adapting to social changes. Conclusion: The constitutionality control system in Brazil, anchored in the Constitution and supported by jurisprudence, plays a fundamental role in maintaining the legal order, safeguarding fundamental rights and preserving supremacy constitutional. Its mechanisms and decisions shape legal relations in the country, while contributing to the evolution of the Brazilian legal framework.

Interaction between Powers: Checks and Balances: The interaction between powers, highlighting the notion of "checks and balances" (checks and balances) as a reciprocal control mechanism. We analyze how each branch exercises oversight functions over the others, preventing abuses and ensuring respect for constitutional principles. 5. Institutional Balance and Contemporary Challenges: The importance of institutional balance in maintaining democracy and the rule of law. We address current challenges, such as the search for greater transparency and accountability, the need to avoid excessive politicization of the Judiciary and the joint action of powers to address urgent issues. Conclusion: Therefore, the organization of powers is a central element in Brazil's political structure, contributing to the preservation of democracy and citizens' rights.

Over the decades, these rights have evolved and adapted to meet the challenges of an ever-changing society. 1. Evolution of Fundamental Rights in Brazil: Since its promulgation, the 1988 Constitution inaugurated a new era of recognition and guarantee of fundamental rights in Brazil. Inspired by universal principles and lessons from the country's authoritarian past, this Constitution established a landmark in the protection of individual and collective rights. Over the years, jurisprudence and the actions of bodies such as the Federal Supreme Court have contributed to consolidating and expanding the scope of these rights. 2. Categories of Fundamental Rights: Fundamental rights in Brazil encompass several interconnected categories. Individual rights, such as freedom of expression and the right to privacy, play a crucial role in defending individual freedoms. Social rights, including education and health, seek to promote equality and social justice. Political rights allow citizen participation in government decision-making, while cultural rights reinforce cultural diversity and national identity. 3. Contemporary Challenges: The contemporary era has brought with it unique challenges for the protection of fundamental rights. The increasing digitalization of society presents dilemmas regarding privacy and freedom of expression, requiring a review of traditional approaches. Furthermore, economic and social inequalities represent an obstacle to the full effectiveness of social and cultural rights, highlighting the need for comprehensive public policies. 4. Relevant Jurisprudence and Precedents: The jurisprudence of the Federal Supreme Court has played a fundamental role in the definition and interpretation of fundamental rights in Brazil. Emblematic cases, such as the recognition of same-sex unions and the decriminalization of drug possession for personal consumption, demonstrate the evolution of the protection of individual rights. Conclusion: Fundamental rights in the Brazilian Constitution represent an essential pillar of democracy and the rule of law. Despite the advances achieved, contemporary challenges highlight the constant need to adapt and review constitutional guarantees. The effective protection of fundamental rights requires a joint effort from society, the judiciary and government institutions, in order to ensure a more fair, egalitarian and democratic Brazil.

The purpose of this article is to discuss the issue of moral damage, highlighting its repair and the limits of compensation imposed by doctrine and jurisprudence, with emphasis on the understanding of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ). The analysis covers the theoretical foundation and the legal bases that underlie the responsibility for moral damages, as well as the current most accepted by the courts about the indemnity value. The discussion seeks to understand the criteria used to quantify moral damage, in order to promote a reflection on the principles that should guide its repair and prevent abuses in the setting of indemnities. Moral damage, even though it is a complex topic, has been consolidated in Brazilian jurisprudence as an important instrument for the protection of personality rights. This article aims to explore the legal bases and understandings consolidated by the courts, with emphasis on the Superior Court of Justice, on the limits of compensation for moral damages. 1. Civil liability and compensation for moral damage Civil liability presupposes the existence of damage, an unlawful act and the causal link between both. In the case of moral damage, its objective is to mitigate the suffering experienced by the victim, providing compensation for the damage caused. The basis for repairing moral damages is found both in the Brazilian Civil Code, in its article 5, and in the jurisprudence of the courts. 2. The quantification of moral damage The quantification of the indemnity value of moral damage is a topic that raises debates and different doctrinal and jurisprudential positions. The Superior Court of Justice, considered the last instance in the infraconstitutional scope, has consolidated understandings that guide the lower courts. In general, the STJ adopts the current that seeks to avoid excesses and undervaluations in indemnity amounts, taking into account criteria such as the intensity of the damage suffered, the repercussion of the damage, the economic capacity of the parties involved, as well as the pedagogical and punitive purpose of the repair. 3. Limits for compensation for moral damages according to the STJ The understanding of the STJ is that there should be no fixed and previously established limits for compensation for moral damages, since each case must be analyzed individually, considering its particularities. However, the Court seeks to avoid exorbitant amounts, establishing reasonableness in fixing the indemnity. To this end, criteria such as proportionality in relation to the damage suffered, the severity of the offense committed, the economic condition of the offender and the victim, among others, are adopted. 4. Final considerations The moral damage and its reparation are themes of great relevance in the legal field, seeking the protection of fundamental rights and the fair compensation of the offended. The understanding of the STJ, although it does not establish predetermined limits, promotes a careful analysis, taking into account the individuality of each case. It is essential that there is a balance between fair compensation and the principle of proportionality in order to avoid abuses and ensure effective protection of personality rights.
