The duty to state reasons for judicial decisions as control of the application of judicial precedents

Abstract

The duty of motivation of judgments, valued, especially after the Enlightenment, is to guarantee the jurisdictional against acts of arbitrariness, fundamental rights violators. The Brazilian constitutional provision of this duty, coupled with the result of their disregard on the nullity, reveal a constitution of a procedural rule, which greatly radiated with the publication of the Civil Procedure Code of 2015. The appreciation of the judicial precedents, in forensic practice, demand the establishment of goals for the intellectual labor due to the motivation not fading. Although it claims a legal precedent in the decision, there is also the need for indication of the fact and reasons of law, which underpins that decision. At trial, the art of persuasion force and, therefore, that the new procedural lists several cases in which it does not consider any court reasoned decision, in order to make it legitimate jurisdiction.
