As sentenças aditivas na jurisdição constitucional

Abstract

As it seen in the title, the objects of this study are the additive sentences, targets of a critical analysis in the light of philosophical, social, political and legal assumptions. For this, the observation of a national and international doctrine was required, on the theme, besides collecting the positions coming from the Supreme Courts of some exponent countries, on the matter in question. The Supreme Court could not be and it was not out of this research universe. The first chapter deals with topics relating to State and Jurisdiction, contemplating the relationships between them to focus the Constitutional Jurisdiction appropriately. The second chapter brings the judicial creation of law and judicial activism to discussion, themes which are related and essential to the proposed study, since the additive sentence has ingrained a kind of judicial activism. Thus, judicial creationism is inserted in this context and, therefore, it lacks a descriptive and critical approach. The third chapter deals with the constitutional courts and the Supreme Court, main pieces of the additive sentences, which have to be well-known to facilitate the digression of the main theme. The fourth chapter deals with the decisions on the control of constitutionality of the rules and their effects, having fundamental importance because they are directly connected to the additives. Finally, the fifth part focuses on the core subject-matter of the dissertation, contemplating minutiae pertaining to the quite controversial subject - it is worth mentioning in the limits separating the tasks of two State Powers, the Judiciary and the Legislative.
