O negócio jurídico processual como fenômeno da experiência jurídica: uma proposta de leitura constitucional adequada da autonomia privada em Processo Civil

Abstract

Divided into three chapters, this thesis aims to analyze the procedural contract under the consideration of the constitutional right of freedom from a post-positivist paradigm. The first chapter focuses on the study of the constitutional right of freedom in the private and public rights, especially in civil procedure. We identify the historical basis that originated the dichotomy between private and public rights. We observe that this distinction does not show up in specific studies, but have rather been repeated without a consistent basis to support it. We show that in a Democratic Legal Estate there is no reason to separate legal branches to the point that one constitutional right - of freedom - gets two different interpretations, one if public right is concerned and a different one if private right is concerned. We present the procedural contract as a juridical experience in the second chapter, in which we propose its study from the concepts of legal situation and legal relationship and from a caused fact. We present the structure and the essential elements of the procedural contract and identify it as a way the parties can create rules concerning the procedure. In the last chapter we study the role of the judge towards the procedural contract. We propose a constitutional and philosophical focus, adequate to the activity of controlling the procedural contract and we also present some peculiarities of the institute
