  • Determinants of Judicial Efficiency Change: Evidence from Brazil
    Determinants of Judicial Efficiency Change: Evidence from Brazil Thiago A. Fauvrellea, Alessio Tony C. Almeidab aInstitute of Law & Economics, University of Hamburg, Germany - Rotterdam Institute of Law & Economics, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Email: [email protected] bGraduate Program in Economics, Federal University of Paraiba, Brazil. Email: [email protected] Abstract Judicial efficiency matters for economic development. Nevertheless, the determinants of judicial productivity growth are not entirely understood in the literature. Using data of Brazil’s state courts for the period of 2009 to 2014, this paper analyses judicial productivity change and its possible determinants over time in a two stage approach. First, data envelopment analysis is used to calculate Malmquist productivity measures which are decomposed in: technical change (frontier-shift effect) and efficiency change which is composed of pure efficiency change (catch-up effect) and scale efficiency change (size effect). In the second stage, fixed effect models are estimated to evaluate the determinants of judicial productivity growth. The first stage results show a slight improvement in judicial productivity trend, which is defined mainly by efficiency change, since technical change deteriorated in the period. While the second stage findings suggest the inexistence of a trade-off between judicial quality and efficiency improvement, while judges remuneration, legal complexity and technology use affect judicial productivity, however not always in the expected direction. Keywords: Judicial Efficiency, Malmquist Index, Productivity, Brazilian Courts Resumo A eficiência judicial é importante para o desenvolvimento econômico, contudo os determinantes do cresci- mento da produtividade da justiça não são totalmente compreendidos na literatura. Usando dados de tribunais estaduais do Brasil para o período de 2009-2014, este artigo analisa a mudança da produtividade judicial e seus possíveis determinantes ao longo do tempo em uma abordagem de dois estágios.

T. Noronha Universidade de São Paulo (USP), Brazil This paper aims to demonstrate how the responses of public health officials to judicial decisions have shaped drug distribution policies in the state of São Paulo. Data was collected and structured interviews were conducted at the state of São Paulo Department for Health in order to show how different strategies of response to judicial decisions affected the policy of medication distribution by the public sector. We also analysed recent Supreme Federal Court jurisprudence to show how the Court reformed its earlier views on the subject as a result of the demands made by public health officials. It is our understanding that the current literature has failed to produce a more comprehensive view of this phenomenon because of its focus solely on judicial decisions, without taking a step further to analyse how public health officials reacted to them, which would have addressed the compliance problem inherent to positive rights enforcement.

  • A Case Note Regarding Limited Liability in Brazilian Law
    Francisco de Assis Marques v Center Trading Indústria e Comércio Ltda – a case note regarding limited liability in Brazilian Law by Bruno Caraciolo Ferreira Albuquerque Abstract This case note provides an objective notion regarding limited liability in Brazilian law. Francisco de Assis Marques v Center Trading Indústria e Comércio Ltda is a recent case from February, 2013, decided by the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court. The case note is divided into five parts. The first part provides a notion about the Brazilian courts’ system and its decisions on limited liability. The second part presents the Brazilian Superior Labour Court’s position on this subject. The third part discusses the interpretation given on this issue by the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice regarding limited liability. In the fourth part the proper case study is developed, clarifying the facts involved, the Court’s decision and its effects. Finally, in the fifth part I present my conclusions linking this subject to the initiative of a new Brazilian Commercial Code, affirming that this important event may have a great efficacy not just by the means of well-drafted general rules but also as a great opportunity to the Brazilian legal community to unify its position about the matter, and to provide more legal certainty for investments in the country. 1. The Brazilian Supreme Courts and the Superior Courts Jurisdiction and Limited Liability Interpretation The parties involved in a lawsuit in Brazil may face several court levels until a final decision. The top of Brazil´s court system is the Federal Supreme Court (STF), a constitutional tribunal.
