The launch event was attended by the presidents of the STF, Luiz Fux, of the STJ (Superior Court of Justice), Humberto Martins and of the OAB, Beto Simonetti. Also participating were the Attorney General of the Republic, Augusto Aras, and the Attorney General of the Union, Bruno Bianco Leal.
The objective is to celebrate 15 years of general repercussion. The filter allows the Supreme Court to set theses to be followed by the lower Instances on various topics. As a result, fewer cases reach the Court and the jurisprudence on matters that move the Judiciary gains ground.
“It is due to the general repercussion that the cause of the common citizen reaches the highest Court in the country, often having emerged in a small claims court in an interior region and crossed all the levels of the Judiciary”said Fux at launch.
The president of the STF also stated that the general repercussion ensured more speed to the STF and that it was through this filter that the Court discussed relevant issues, such as the supply of medication to the poorest people, issues related to social security benefits, rights to day care and preschool, among others.
“These first 15 years of general repercussions are worthy of intense celebration, as they represent the efficiency and expansion of access to justice; the creation of a culture of precedents in Brazil; the implementation of due legal process and the reasonable duration of the process in the Brazilian appeal system; stability, integrity and coherence in judicial action; and the legal security necessary for the social and economic development of the country”continued.
