LEGITIMATE EXERCISE OF THE STATES COMPETENCE TO SUPPLEMENT FEDERAL LEGISLATION. VIOLATION TO FREE ENTERPRISE. INEXISTENCE. ACTION DISMISSED. 1. In cases in which the doubt about legislative competence falls upon a norm that covers more than one theme, the interpreter must accept an interpretation that does not limit the competence held by the smaller entities to dispose of a certain matter. 2. Because federalism is an instrument of political decentralization that aims to realize fundamental rights, if the federal or state law clearly indicates, in a necessary, adequate, and reasonable manner, that the effects of its application exclude the power of complementation held by the smaller entities, it is possible to rule out the presumption that, in the regional sphere, a certain subject must be regulated by the larger entity.

  • Machado Associados Newsletter
    Machado Associados Newsletter STF’s trial related to the inclusion of the ICMS on the PIS/COFINS taxable basis On the trial of Extraordinary Appeal No. 574706 by the Full Bench of the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court, which began yesterday, it was discussed the non-inclusion of the ICMS on the PIS/COFINS taxable basis . Of the current ten Justices, eight rendered votes and the score shows 5 x 3 in favor of the taxpayers’ thesis . It is highly likely that, on the session of March 15, 2017, the trial is concluded favorably to the merits, despite a possible discussion regarding the setting up of a date for the decision to take effect. After both parties presented their oral arguments, the voting commenced with Justice Rapporteur Carmen Lúcia, who voted to grant the taxpayer’s appeal to not include the ICMS on the PIS/COFINS taxable basis, stating, in summary, that amounts that will be transferred should not fall within the concept of revenue. Subsequently, Justice Edson Fachin voted in the sense that the ICMS should be included in the PIS/COFINS taxable basis, denying the extraordinary appeal, which vote was followed by Justices Luis Roberto Barroso and Dias Toffoli. Following the vote of the Justice Rapporteur, Justice Rosa Weber, Justice Luiz Fux, Justice Ricardo Lewandowski, and Justice Marco Aurélio voted to grant the taxpayer’s appeal, establishing that the ICMS should not be included on the PIS/COFINS taxable basis. However, when only Justices Gilmar Mendes and Celso de Mello were left to take their votes, the trial was suspended and will be resumed on the session to be held on March 15.

Trata-se de questão que agora vem de ser exposta no habeas corpus impetrado em 3.11.2020 em favor de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, no qual se aponta como ato coator o acórdão proferido pela Quinta Turma do Superior Tribunal de Justiça nos autos do Agravo Regimental no Recurso Especial n. 1.765.139, no ponto em que foram refutadas as alegações de incompetência do Juízo da 13ª Vara Federal da Subseção Judiciária de Curitiba para o processo e julgamento da Ação Penal n. 5046512- 94.2016.4.04.7000, indeferindo-se, por conseguinte, a pretensão de declaração de nulidade dos atos decisórios nesta praticados. A impetração é recente (3.11.2020), e pela vez primeira assim apresentada originalmente em relação à ação penal em tela, suscita teses e precedentes que, no âmbito do Supremo Tribunal Federal, foram moldando a definição da competência da 13ª Vara Federal da Subseção Judiciária de Curitiba até o tempo presente. O tema, com efeito, diante de situações similares julgadas pelo Tribunal, nada obstante nos quais restei vencido, atingiu desenvolvimento que propicia, superado o ciclo de maturação temática, análise das respectivas alegações aqui deduzidas. Levei a efeito presentemente no último recesso (a partir de 19 de dezembro e durante o mês de janeiro deste ano de 2021) exame dessa matéria (posta em termos originais na impetração de novembro de 2020), cotejando a linHa evolutiva de seus contornos nesses últimos anos, e ao começo desse período forense restou possível concluir e agora apresentar, em sede dessa prestação jurisdicional, a resposta racional e sistemática à impetração e suas alegações, como sustentam na inicial e petições.

  • Lawfare (Or, Simply, War)
    ! ! ! "! 978-987-722-309-5 Introduction “Comments on a notorious verdict: The trial of Lula” might be the most important judicial document published in Brazil for decades. The present selection of articles came to exist after a spontaneous movement, and significant enough as well, of Brazilian and foreign lawyers who carefully verified the verdict rendered in the extent of the procedure which was processed at the 13ª Vara Federal de Curitiba, in the case that was known at the media as “the Guarujá triplex”. Beyond the unprecedented aspect of the criminal conviction of an ex-President in political circumstances, in thesis not comparable to last century Brazilian dictatorships, the verdict, which in large scale was expected as a non-surprising closure of this criminal process, provoked immediate reaction between the ones who read it and were committed only with the purpose of trying to understand the reasons why Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is being punished for the criminal acts of passive corruption and illicit asset laundering. The certainty of conviction was a fact. Admirers and opponents of the ex-President were aware that there wouldn’t be another verdict. The hesitation was in knowing the conviction reasons, normative requirement of the 1988 Constitution, which by the inevitable political repercussions of the cited procedure, showed the 1987-1988 Constituent’s right act when lifting the decision foundations to the constitutional warranty level of the process. Only recently, after twenty years of an intense judicial battle starred by Fernando Fernandes, by coincidence Paulo Tarciso Okamoto’s lawyer, who is a defendant together with the ex- President in this “Guarujá triplex” case, it was achieved to accomplish the Federal Supreme Court decision, bringing the trials audios to be known which the Superior Military Court (SMC) recorded during 1964-1985 dictatorship.
