Tutela de urgência na homologação de sentença estrangeira

Abstract

This dissertation aims to present the juridical analysis and the admissibility of interim protection and provisional measures in the recognition of foreign judgments. In order achieve its ends, it studies the recognition of foreign judgments, interim protection and provisional measures, including its application to the obligations to do or not to do a specific thing and to deliver a certain thing, and it analyses the decisions of the Federal Supreme Court on the subject. The work highlights the importance of the issue and criticizes the precedents of the Supreme Court that did not grant interim protection and provisional measures in the recognition of foreign judgments. Interim protection and provisional measures are based in the constitutional principle of access to justice, in its meaning of the effective rendering of judgment. This is the first core argument of the thesis that this dissertation defends, as this principle is one of those general principles of law recognized in all civilized States. On the other hand, the analysis of the constitutive and integrative nature of the final judgment in the recognition of foreign judgment, together with the effect of the foreign judgment of the right of action to its recognition render an interpretation of article 483 of the Code of Civil Procedure compatible with interim protection and provisional measures. This is the second core argument of this dissertation. The conclusion of the work provides a summary of the arguments that sustain the position that it defends.
