Supremo Tribunal Federal e a concretização dos direitos fundamentais no sistema constitucional tributário brasileiro

Este trabalho trata do papel desempenhado pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal na apreciação de questões relativas ao Sistema Constitucional Tributário brasileiro à luz dos direitos fundamentais. Com efeito, o STF é responsável por guardar os direitos fundamentais também quando decide controvérsias constitucionais tributárias, o que significa considerar o delicado equilíbrio entre a proteção dos contribuintes e a necessidade de o Estado arrecadar os recursos suficientes à concretização dos direitos fundamentais. Assim, a tese tem dois objetivos. Por um lado, pretende identificar se o Supremo Tribunal Federal adota algum parâmetro condizente com os direitos fundamentais ao julgar questões constitucionais relativas ao sistema tributário. Nessa perspectiva, diversos acórdãos do Supremo Tribunal Federal, proferidos na égide da CF/1988, são analisados com vistas a examinar se a Corte tem cumprido bem suas responsabilidades constitucionais. Por outro lado, sugere o Estado Fiscal como parâmetro adequado aos direitos fundamentais e ao sistema constitucional tributário, considerando sua preocupação tanto com a proteção dos contribuintes quanto com a existência de meios mínimos para o financiamento das atividades públicas.

Vínculo empregatício: interpretação judicial do direito fundamental à relação de emprego protegida e seus efeitos

The Federal Constitution, in Article 1, sections III and IV, lifted the work as the foundation of the Federative Republic of Brazil, including work as a social guarantee in Article 6, listing in its Article 7 minimal guarantees role with respect to social rights of workers. Although elevated to constitutional rights, these social rights of workers have in the judicial interpretation of the characteristic elements of the employment relationship, sometimes a mismatch with the legal and constitutional order, when, in deciding not ponder such elements, causing damage economic and social benefits to all workers, thus affecting the very constitutional basis of worker protection, there is therefore situations in which there must be part of unavailability of rights by the employee. Therefore, identifying the characteristic elements of employment, means allow immediate legal finding about possible illegality perpetrated by the employer, precisely because the sentence recognizes be merely declaratory noting, therefore, the elements that make up the juridical system normative in order to establish the characterization of employment in step with the effective observance and guarantee of social rights and therefore the employer's performance limiter as pertains to hiring and employee dismissal. This point is it's main element of this work, which is fundamental for the exegesis of the theme to limit the autonomy of the will. There is no denying, therefore, the need to extend the effects of these guarantees in the employment contract. In this context, therefore, jumping the guarantees of employees, embodied in particular in the Consolidation of Labor Laws, and especially in the Federal Constitution and international protection instruments to ensure the fundamental right to secure employment relationship, where technological advancement, social and economic, reflect directly, such as the parassubordinação, and claiming more and more systematic resolutions, especially when evidence gaps' values, which elevate the debate about the need for increased use of precedents of order to support the judgments, often beset with aspects of unconstitutionality, all in compliance with the integration of standards, seeking legal enforcement of this bond and providing legal certainty, there emerged, so the essence of the theme: discuss to what extent the distortion of employment limits the effectiveness of social rights and what its legal effects, since the constitutional standard for social guarantees protects equally worker admission.

Impactos da adoção de sistemas de informação no judiciário: pesquisa com usuários do sistema processual virtual em um juizado especial federal

The Information Technology (IT) is increasing his applicability to business, both private and public companies. It is necessary the adequate use of the new technologies and get cooperation and technology acceptance of the system. People tend to resist to the changes, contributing so that the technology is rejected or even it is not recognized as promoting of the changes. This study is relevant and aim to evaluate the impacts of new technologies, considering their users as fundamental factors in the change process. The survey analyzed the advantages and the barriers of the system use in three federal special judicial of Rio Grande do Norte, with data collected in May of 2007, through the application of questionnaires to thirty eight users of the virtual system CRETA. The users' perception was evaluated, under the optics of five variables: efficiency, image, agility, ease of use and quality. Starting from the obtained results, it was evidenced that the implementation of the system felt accordingly the expected and it reached the objectives intended that were: the velocity and efficiency in the path of the lawsuits, larger productivity, resulting in a better quality of the final work introduced to the citizen and proportionate an improvement in the organizational image of the judiciary power

Impacto del uso de las tecnologías de información y las comunicaciones en la gestión judicial de la Dirección Seccional de Administración Judicial de Cúcuta

El Consejo Superior de la Judicatura ha adelantado programas de modernización tecnológica, tanto de los despachos judiciales como de los entes de administración de la rama judicial, pero aún se puede constatar la generalización del atraso judicial y consecuentemente, la pérdida de credibilidad en el sistema. Objetivo: Determinar el impacto que tiene el uso de las tecnologías de información y las comunicaciones en la gestión judicial de la Dirección Seccional de Administración Judicial de Cúcuta. Métodos: Se utilizó un tipo de estudio descriptivo, aplicado a 25 jueces, 115 empleados de los diferentes despachos judiciales y a 5 magistrados quienes fueron actores clave para el estudio. Resultados: Los resultados indican que el impacto de las TIC en la gestión judicial de la Entidad es moderado basado en las limitaciones actuales del flujo de información con los usuarios y con las demás entidades de la rama judicial. Conclusión: No se ha integrado el sistema de información con todos los municipios de la región de Norte de Santander y Arauca. Adicionalmente, a pesar que se cuenta con herramientas tecnológicas para mantener interactividad con proveedores y usuarios del servicio judicial, el personal de la Entidad no los conoce completamente por la resistencia al cambio que supone realizar las tareas de diferente manera.

Subjetividad, Convicción e Imparcialidad judicial: El Juicio Lógico

Diversos estudios doctrinarios se han realizado respecto a los aspectos procesales más puros de la sentencia. Pocos de ellos, en cambio, se han detenido a examinar con relativa minuciosidad un elemento clave en la decisión judicial: la convicción psicológica del juez. Nos centramos en una primera instancia, sobre los aspectos procesales que componen a la sentencia, como sus elementos, su naturaleza, la valoración de la prueba y los principios que la delimitan; llegando en último término al juicio lógico en propiedad. Desde un punto de vista sustancial, transitamos por diferentes elementos relacionados íntimamente con la convicción del juez y sus limitaciones, como la imparcialidad, la discrecionalidad y la valoración al dictar sentencia. A través de diversas reflexiones y análisis jurisprudencial, así como de un breve estudio comparativo respecto al derecho anglosajón, llegaremos a demostrar que la utilidad que le reputa a nuestro sistema la subjetividad judicial, es indudablemente apreciable. Contemplamos, asimismo, a lo largo del trabajo, potenciales mecanismos que podrían ejercer un control sobre este elemento tan abstracto, llevándolo a cumplir su función fundamental: hacer justicia.

tratamiento contable y administrativo de los activos extraordinarios en las Cajas de crédito del Sistema Fedecrédito.

El trabajo de investigación que se ha realizado, desarrolla la problemática en torno al tratamiento contable y administrativo de los activos extraordinarios en las Cajas de Crédito del Sistema Fedecrédito, un sector cooperativo que desde su nacimiento apoya financieramente a personas que muchas veces no son atendidos por la banca comercial. Se presenta una breve reseña histórica sobre el surgimiento del cooperativismo en El Salvador, así como el de las Cajas de Crédito, considerándose la base legal que ampara a esta entidades, habiéndose observado que éstas no cuentan con una ley especial que las regule, y no están bajo la supervisión de la Superintendencia del Sistema Financiero, sino que han decidido que sea Fedecrédito quien las autorregule; sin embargo, aplican de forma voluntaria la mayor parte de la normativa emitida por la SSF para los Bancos Cooperativos. Dentro de las diferentes operaciones que realizan estas instituciones, se encuentran las relacionadas a los activos extraordinarios, siendo estas el objeto de la problemática estudiada, ya que de acuerdo con los resultados obtenidos en la investigación de campo, por medio de cuestionario dirigido a los contadores de estas entidades, ellos expusieron la necesidad de un documento que les facilite la comprensión de este tipo de actividades. Con las respuestas obtenidas además se comprobó que se tienen deficiencias en cuanto al manejo de estos activos, pues en la mayoría de instituciones les han detectado observaciones las unidades auditoras, descubriéndose que existe un sentimiento de que exista unificación de criterios por parte de los contadores de estos entes para el registro de las operaciones. La propuesta se ha realizado de forma tal que cualquier persona que lea el documento, sea capaz de comprender las diferentes situaciones que pudieran presentarse en la adquisición, administración y liquidación de los activos extraordinarios; al mismo tiempo se han desarrollado ejemplos sencillos pero que ilustran de forma completa su tratamiento contable y administrativo. En la realización de los casos prácticos se ha hecho un recorrido por las condiciones previas que se dan antes del recibimiento de estos bienes, el cual puede ser por medio de dación en pago (de forma voluntaria por el cliente) o a través de adjudicación judicial (mediante juicio ejecutivo en contra del deudor), luego se ventilan los diferentes aspectos a considerar por las gerencias de estas entidades en la etapa de administración, que involucra gestiones de comercialización y creación de provisiones, para finalmente explicar los mecanismos mediante los cuales pueden perder la calidad de activos extraordinarios los bienes adquiridos, y que puede ser por venta al contado, con financiamiento, traslado al activo fijo, o la destrucción de estos. Es importante poner atención a la venta por medio de financiamiento, pues requiere control durante un lapso de tiempo considerable, que está acorde a la recuperación efectuada del capital financiado al comprador. Finalmente se enumeran una serie de conclusiones a las cuales llego el grupo, brindando para cada una de estas las respectivas recomendaciones, que de dárseles cumplimiento se mejorarían las operaciones relacionadas con esta clase de activos.

Contemporary issues in Australian family law: Do we need a more unified and interventionist judicial model

Recent decisions of the Family Court of Australian reflect concerns over the adversarial nature of the legal process. The processes and procedures of the judicial system militate against a detailed examination of the issues and rights of the parties in dispute. The limitations of the family law framework are particularly demonstrated in disputes over the custody of children where the Court has tended to neglect the rights and interests of the primary carer. An alternative "unified family court" framework will be examined in which the Court pursues a more active and interventionist approach in the determination of family law disputes.

Are the financial services external complaints resolution schemes subject to judicial review?

In Australia seven schemes (apart from the Superannuation Complaints Tribunal) provide alternative dispute resolution services for complaints brought by consumers against financial services industry members. Recently the Supreme Court of New South Wales held that the decisions of one scheme were amenable to judicial review at the suit of a financial services provider member and the Supreme Court of Victoria has since taken a similar approach. This article examines the juristic basis for such a challenge and contends that judicial review is not available, either at common law or under statutory provisions. This is particularly the case since Financial Industry Complaints Service Ltd v Deakin Financial Services Pty Ltd (2006) 157 FCR 229; 60 ACSR 372 decided that the jurisdiction of a scheme is derived from a contract made with its members. The article goes on to contend that the schemes are required to give procedural fairness and that equitable remedies are available if that duty is breached.

Outrage management in cases of sexual harassment as revealed in judicial decisions

Sexual harassment can be conceptualized as a series of interactions between harassers and targets that either inhibit or increase outrage by third parties. The outrage management model predicts the kinds of actions likely to be used by perpetrators to minimize outrage, predicts the consequences of failing to use these tactics—namely backfire, and recommends countertactics to increase outrage. Using this framework, our archival study examined outrage-management tactics reported as evidence in 23 judicial decisions of sexual harassment cases in Australia. The decisions contained precise, detailed information about the circumstances leading to the claim; the events which transpired in the courtroom, including direct quotations; and the judges' interpretations and findings. We found evidence that harassers minimize outrage by covering up the actions, devaluing the target, reinterpreting the events, using official channels to give an appearance of justice, and intimidating or bribing people involved. Targets can respond using countertactics of exposure, validation, reframing, mobilization of support, and resistance. Although there are limitations to using judicial decisions as a source of information, our study points to the value of studying tactics and the importance to harassers of minimizing outrage from their actions. The findings also highlight that, given the limitations of statutory and organizational protections in reducing the incidence and severity of sexual harassment in the community, individual responses may be effective as part of a multilevel response in reducing the incidence and impact of workplace sexual harassment as a gendered harm.
