Contrato incompleto

Abstract

This thesis aimsto buildstandards, from a dogmatic point of view, to define the incomplete contract in Brazilian Law, establishingthe distinctive feature of its function(causa) and its juridical discipline, inlight of the civilconstitutional methodology. It also intendsto determine interpretative parameters for its performance, under the functional perspective of the juridical facts, which allows the definition of the incomplete contract as a juridical act which adopts the negative technique of distribution of risks (álea normal).Since the incomplete contract intentionally doesnot regulate every possible contingency, ahigh level of cooperation between the contracting parties is required in order to fill its gaps. As a result,incomplete contracts set a higher standard when referring tothe principles of objective good faith, social function and contractual balance,which will be applied with more intensitythan in juridical actswherethere is a positive distribution of risks (álea normal).After analyzing the legal mechanisms applicable to the breach of the duty offillingcontractual gaps, this work will examine the legal and axiological limits to the incomplete contracts. In conclusion, this thesis aims to establish the incomplete contract as a licit juridical act, worthy of protection,asitmeets the parties interests in its economic activities, highlighting new boundaries ofthe private autonomy in the constitutional legality.
