LEGAL CERTAINTY IN CROSS-BORDER CONTRACTUAL RELATIONS IN BRAZIL: THE CHALLENGE OF THE JUDICIARY
Legal Certainty; Judicial Power; International Contracts. Jurisprudence.
The 125th position of Brazil in the world ranking of the 190 countries evaluated in terms of regulatory efficiency in international business, according to the recently published report of the World Bank group, Doing Business, Reforming to Create Jobs, as well as the downgrade of Brazil by the international agency of the Fitch Group, calls into question the issue of legal certainty under the approach addressed in this study. This debate mean to be unsustainable in the field of abstraction and speculation of a political and economic order - that’s why it was based on a legal analysis on the subject. With the failure of attempts to standardize private international law, the problem diagnosed is aggravated by the existence of outdated domestic legal diplomas and an excessive technicality in the interpretation and application of conflicting methods affecting the predictability and stability of international trade, given the restriction of legitimate will. Values such as material justice and security, consecrators in the Rule of Law, are ultranational paradigms that go beyond the whims of State Legislative Policies. By relinquishing its jurisdiction in favor of adverse jurisdiction, whether by referral system or by applying the principle of forum non convenience, the court acts prudently in protecting the parties' trust, avoiding procedural and economic inconvenience with repulsive social reflex.
