Abstract

The significant paradigm change, caused by the edition of Law 49/2018, which internalized the terms of the New York Convention by introducing the special process of monitoring into the Portuguese legal system, makes it necessary to perform a profound reflection on the conditions of Theoretical-Normative Possibility for an adequate configuration of the institute oriented to its use and better effectiveness, topics that constitute the object of the present study. With the accelerated modification of the demographic status of contemporary societies and the deterioration of the conditions of security and socio -affective assistance, the search for the preservation of legal capacity and the exercise of autonomy by the individual himself who, for health, disability or their behavior reasons, It is unable to exercise personal and consciously exercise their rights or to fulfill their duties, which constitutes an important challenge to theoretical-dogmatic studies and the practical operators of law. There is a special concern for magistrates and lawyers, directly involved in the follow -up process, but it is also extensive to the whole of society. The new legislation raises the problem of the conditions for the exercise of individual autonomy in a situation of personal difficulty, which can be better understood through an intrinsic analysis to the Portuguese and comparative legal system. The present study has as its starting point the contextualization and evolution of the incapacities regime, at the international and national level, to understand the procedural changes inherent in the application of monitoring measures by judicial way. Regarding the process, its nature and characterization is considered, in particular, and the procedural principles that enforce the powers of the judge are exposed, which follows the analysis of some aspects of processing the process. The exhibition is based on the current legal regime, the position of the doctrine and some jurisprudential reference decisions.
