Abstract

This study aims to clarify the concept of “precedent system” that was adopted by Brazilian doctrine after the validity of the Code of Civil Procedure, due to the interpretation given to the text of arts. 926 and 927. We point out that the legal provisions are intended only to give binding effect to certain judicial provisions, unlike the theory of stare decisis, and far from the ability to create legitimate precedents. Given this, we analyze the devices and their legal consequences to raise reflections about the affront to the tripartition of powers. Thus, we assert that while they are intended to provide the jurisdiction of the courts with greater legal certainty and predictability of outcome in their claims, it conceals in its core the real pretension, namely to increase the productivity of the judiciary and to produce mass judicial decisions, which certainly does not conform to the constitutional pillars of the rule of law.
