Abstract

This article aims to analyze the theoretical and practical contours of the Brazilian appellate system, studied in light of Law and Economics, a school of legal thought that employs economic concepts, notably efficiency, to shape and enhance the operability of legais systems worldwide. Its goal is to contribute solutions and reflections that assist in building a more stable, predictable, reliable, and secure appellate system, inspiring greater legitimacy in the application of law by the courts, and constituting an attraction to foster the business environment in Brazil, according to the parameters provided by the Doing Business Ranking, elaborated by the World Bank. Initially, the fundamental concepts of appeals provided by foreign doctrine, especially Italian, and their reflections in Brazilian doctrine are studied, tracing parameters and premises of initial interpretation in order to better understand the development of the appealing litigation worldwide and in Brazil.

The appeal, in this sphere of examination, is seen as an important mechanism for improving the institutional capacity of the Judiciary, expressing the pursuit of the best possible decision. Its examination through the lens of Law and Economics corroborates the notion that the access to justice and the indefeasibility of judicial relief can only be fully realized when achieved in a context of predictability, stability, and efficiency, especially through the guarantee of a speedy trial. This fundamental right, enshrined with the inclusion in the list of the Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988, in Article 5, section LXXVIII, entails the need to conceive mechanisms for measuring the incentives available to parties to appeal in the Brazilian civil procedure — considering informative data, statistics, and behavioral studies — as a way to contribute to the development of effective strategies aimed at containing appellate profligacy. Throughout the text, the conclusion is drawn that Law and Economics has proven to be an important ally in the aforementioned purpose, considering all its instrumental, which is sought to be examined in the present work.
