Tribunal Constitucional: relação dos precedentes com as funções próprias

Abstract

The dissertation discusses the relationship between the functions of the Constitutional Court and the constitutionality of the hypotheses of mandatory precedents, as predicted by art. 926 and 927 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The work seeks to investigate the theory of the functions of the Constitutional Court with the obligation of precedents. In this aspect, I have spoken about the interpretative function, the structuring function, the political function, the legislative function, as well as the characterization of improper functions. Highlights, the work, the system of precedents as necessary to organization of the legal system starting from the assumptions of the promotion of indeterminability caused by the normativity of principles, open clauses, legal concepts undetermined and constitutional hermeneutics. It therefore evidences the need to measure the precedent system and the mandatory decisions of the Supreme Court for the principles of legal certainty and equality before the judicial decision. Finally, the dissertation addresses the behavior of the Supreme Federal Court in the creation of constitutional decisions, thus marking the constitutionality of the precedent system created by the Code of Civil Procedure.
