The current Code of Civil Procedure, by idealizing a procedural model based on the principle of procedural cooperation (art. 6) and the scope of expand the fundamental guarantee of the adversary system (arts. 7 and 9) – including as a guarantee of no surprise (art. 10) – enshrines procedural good faith as one of the fundamental norms of Brazilian civil procedure (art. 5), whose observance is mandatory for all those who in any way participate in the process. Based on this premise, this article aims to analyze different types of protection of procedural good faith, based on the prohibition of abusive behavior regarding the exercise of the right of action. To this end, procedural harassment was examined, an expression coined by the Superior Tribunal de Justiça to portray the procedural wrongdoing consisting in the successive filing of lawsuits without reputable grounds and attempting malicious intent. Then, the following situations of protection of procedural good faith regulated in foreign legal systems were analyzed: a) prohibition of sham litigation; b) prohibition of frivolous litigation; c) prohibition of vexatious litigation; d) prohibition of splitting of causes of action and flood or bury in documents; e) strategic lawsuit against public participation and chilling effect; f) guerrilla tactics in international arbitration. In the end, it was concluded that it is necessary to continue seeking to identify abusive procedural conducts, with the aim of structuring a Brazilian legal system to contain procedural wrongdoings involving the various forms of protection of procedural good faith and impediment to the abusive exercise of right of action.
