O direito fundamental à duração razoável do processo judicial

Abstract

The purpose of this dissertation is to theoretically analyze article 5°, LXXVIII of the Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988, known as the Fundamental Right to the Reasonable Duration of the Lawsuit, or the right to a lawsuit without unneeded dilations. This study is constructed through a dialectic hermeneutical process, aiming Procedural Law which has constitutional foundation. The problematic is centered historically and is developed during the 45th Constitutional Amendment scenario, within the procedimentalist and substantialist paradigmatic conflict, who define the part that should be played by the magistrate in the Constitutional State of Law. The hypothesis is of which the insertion of the Fundamental Right to the Reasonable Duration of the Lawsuit in the hard core of constitutional text gives it, through a material and formal points of view, legal characteristics of fundamental right, with immediate and complete efficacy, even thought it does not have aptitude to interfere in the procedural march, reducing their time span. It also demonstrates that many assumptions under which the jurisdictional response delay problem are untrue, because they are not scientific approaches of the problem or have shown themselves unable to solve the problem. Recognizing the relativity of its concept and theoretical abstractions of the Fundamental Right, firm an concept of the terms Right to the Reasonable Duration of the Lawsuit are made, taking into consideration the many view points of the actors in its relation. With its iusfundamentality, the Right to the Reasonable Duration of the Lawsuit puts itself through an interdisciplinary approach with other themes of the legal science, questioning the doubts of its judiciality, bringing back to focus the problem of the criteria of legitimation of the jurisdictional power in Brazilian law, the role of the magistrate in the realization of rights, and the realization of the material effects of the judicial decisions. Also as an objective, making the Fundamental Right to the Reasonable Duration of the Lawsuit shine its theme of the civil responsibility of the state and magistrate due to the unlawful time dilation of the judicial lawsuits, due to negligence or disdain in the conduction of the lawsuit, having in mind the text that resulted from the parallel amendment after the promulgation of the 45th amendment to the Constitution of Brazil. The active and passive entitlement of the Fundamental Right to the Reasonable Duration of the Lawsuit will also be studied, as will be the consequences of its vertical efficiency against the state, and horizontally, as a reflection of the fundamental rights between particulars- which operates, in the case of the right studied, between the poles of the procedural relationship whose time gap has grown beyond what is reasonably expected.
