Sham litigation in Brazil: construction, standards and critique
Keywords:
Sham litigation, Vexatious litigationx, Abuse of right to petition.Abstract
It is not unusual to see in articles on Sham Litigation in Brazil, claiming that the adoption of foreign parameters is not proper, due to the question of its compatibility with the national legal system. In this context, the hypothesis developed in the present work is the finding that CADE does in fact adopt foreign parameters, in particular Americans, when judging Sham Litigation cases. To illustrate our hypothesis, we stipulate some criteria based on the American doctrine and seek to observe them in the agency's ruling in practical case, through empirical evidence in the case studies. Gathering all the jurisprudence of the Council on the subject in question, in the last section we finally point out criticisms regarding the compatibility of such imports in the face of the brazilian legal system.
