Abstract

This is an exploratory qualitative research, with a monographic procedure, with a deductive approach, aiming to analyze the changes implemented by CPC15 in the objective limits of res judicata, more specifically regarding the possibility of its extension to prejudicial question, regardless of incidental declaratory action, with the scope of investigating whether this change would represent an offense to the dispositive principle. Based on the sources adopted and based on a historical analysis of the institute and based on a similar foreign procedural instrument in the colateral estoppage, it can be said that the current legislation has taken the necessary precautions to prevent the perceived advantages arising from greater speed, efficiency and reduction in the possibility of logically contradictory decisions were not achieved at the expense of the democratic principles of the process, especially with regard to the need for a previous and effective contradiction as a condition of this possibility, so there is no offense to the dispositive principle.
