Since the beginning of the validity of the 2015`s Code of Civil Procedure, there has been an expectation regarding the stance of higher courts on the admissibility of the Incident of Resolution of Repetitive Demands directly in those courts. Although it has not been clearly defined by law regarding such (im)possibility, and doctrine differs on this matter, some courts began to delve into the subject, until the Superior Military Court ruled on the merits of its first IRRD. Thus, the main objective of this study was to analyze the admissibility of the IRRD in higher courts in light of the case judged by the STM, considering how the military court examined the admissibility requirements of the incident, according to the specific characteristics of that court and its respective branch of law, as well as the procedure adopted for the resolution of the judgment until the establishment of the thesis, considering the guidelines of the CPC itself. In addition to a deepening of the discussion on the admissibility of the IRRD in higher courts, the study provided interesting findings about the reality of litigation in military justice and the STM itself, which is both a reviewing court and a apex court for military justice. The way the requirements of article 976 of the CPC were analyzed in the studied case also demonstrates that the conception of repetitive demands can take on different contexts according to the branch of justice, as is the case with military justice. It was possible to verify the use of the IRRD for the purpose of managing demands within a higher court, which does not have the tool of repetitive appeals at its disposal. In any case, the study also leads us to deeper reflections on the principles and foundations of the IRRD and its real applicability to matters strictly within the jurisdiction of higher courts, which often do not involve repetitive demands.
