Capacidades e performance dos Tribunais de Contas no Brasil

O presente estudo visa à análise da relação entre as capacidades, conforme definidas por Brinkerhoff (2010), e a performance das Cortes de Contas brasileiras. As capacidades no atual estudo se referem à quantidade de funcionários de cada Tribunal de Contas, seu orçamento, percentual de servidores do seu quadro efetivo e cumprimento das normas constitucionais quanto a sua formação. A performance foi medida pelas variáveis: “Produtividade”, ou o número de processos julgados ou apreciados pelos Ministros ou Conselheiros; “Iniciativa”, ou seja, quantidade de fiscalizações in loco realizadas; “Valor das multas e débitos imputados”, entendidas como a propensão a punir das Cortes de Contas; e “Grau de rejeição das contas de governo”, que é definida como a razão do número de pareceres prévios rejeitando as contas de governo pelo total de pareceres emitidos. A atual pesquisa parte do estudo de Melo, Pereira e Figueiredo (2009) - que identifica diversas relações entre a estrutura dos Tribunais de Contas e sua atuação - propondo novas variáveis para uma análise mais ampla e real da performance das Cortes de Contas. As hipóteses do estudo foram testadas por meio de regressão estatística utilizando o método de mínimos quadrados. Os dados foram coletados diretamente dos Tribunais de Contas. Os testes realizados confirmaram que a quantidade de recursos humanos de cada Corte influencia positivamente todas as variáveis de performance referidas anteriormente, e que quanto maior o orçamento de cada Tribunal maior sua produtividade, sua iniciativa e o valor das multas e débitos imputados. O presente estudo também comprovou que quanto maior o percentual de servidores do quadro efetivo da Corte de Contas, maior é sua produtividade, o que corrobora as teorias de Evans (2004). A partir dos dados coletados na pesquisa, foi possível verificar que o percentual médio de servidores efetivos nas Corte de Contas é de 69% enquanto nas Cortes Judiciárias esse percentual é de 89%. Isso mostra que há bastante margem para aumento da produtividade dos órgãos de contas. Conclui-se que quanto mais recursos financeiros e humanos disponíveis, e quanto maior o percentual de servidores concursados, mais os Tribunais de Contas são produtivos, sancionadores e proativos.

Justifying partial rescission in English law

Comments on the refusal of the English courts to recognise the existence of a remedy of partial rescission, suggesting that in certain restricted instances justification exists for the grant of such a remedy. Considers the nature of the remedy of rescission under English law, the English courts' approach towards partial rescission and the nature and scope of the discretions available to the courts, noting the decisions in TSB Bank Plc v Camfield and De Molestina v Ponton. Reviews the historical origins of the remedy of rescission, including the distinction between fraudulent and non fraudulent misrepresentation and the origins of the so called concurrent and auxiliary equitable jurisdictions. Compares the approach of the Australian courts and highlights examples of recognition of partial rescission under international law.

En busca de la justicia: los agentes de corte y chancillerías de la Mesta en siglo XVIII

Los agentes de corte y chancillerías surgieron de las mestas locales medievales y pasaron a formar parte de la Cabaña Real a principios del siglo xvi. Fueron el resultado de la mayor actividad procesal en los diferentes tribunales y de la creciente conflictividad en el campo. El oficio no tenía las funciones bien definidas porque se vio arrastrado por las disfunciones institucionales y la oposición de las chancillerías. Los Borbones se dieron cuenta de la importancia del cargo en la recuperación de la mesta y en el desarrollo de la trashumancia y elaboraron un detallado plan para desacreditarlo, suprimir el empleo de Granada, restarle atribuciones y sólo adjudicarles asuntos internos y sin relevancia. Paulatinamente fue sustituido en sus facultades y comisiones por el procurador general de corte.

Ensayo ganador del VII premio Enrique Ruano Casanova: La presencia del crucifijo en las aulas. Jurisprudencia nacional y europea

Cuando se aprueba la Constitución Española en 1978, España se convierte en un Estado aconfesional, reconociendo por primera vez un verdadero derecho de libertad religiosa de todos los individuos. Precisamente, el ejercicio de esta libertad en una situación de igualdad ha originado diversas polémicas desde que se instauró la democracia. Una de las controversias que más repercusión ha tenido en los últimos años viene determinada por la presencia de los crucifijos u otros símbolos en las aulas de algunos colegios públicos, cuestión que ha sido abordada por los tribunales españoles, así como por el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos.

L'autorité des obiter dicta de la Cour suprême

En 1980, la Cour suprême du Canada a rendu, dans l'arrêt Sellars, une décision qui a été interprétée par plusieurs juristes comme formulant un principe attribuant un effet contraignant à certains obiter dicta de la Cour. Autrefois limitée à la ratio decidendi, la portée obligatoire d'une décision de la Cour suprême s'étendrait dorénavant aux obiter dicta partagés par une majorité de juges. C'est, du moins, le principe qui a été reconnu et adopté par une majorité des cours d'appel canadiennes et par un nombre important de tribunaux inférieurs. Cette étude vise à retracer l'émergence de ce qu'on peut appeler «le principe Sellars». Ensuite, nous tentons d'isoler certains facteurs qui en expliqueraient l'apparition en droit canadien, pour, enfin, déterminer si, dorénavant, les obiter dicta de la Cour suprême doivent être traités comme des arguments d'autorité ou comme des diktats autoritaires.

Drug Reformulation Regulatory Gaming in Pharmaceuticals: Enforcement & Innovation Implications

This article examines drug reformulation regulatory gaming as a vehicle for analyzing the way in which European courts and the Commission are currently approaching innovation issues in the pharmaceutical sector. First, the economics literature regarding pharmaceutical innovation is briefly summarized. Next, the phenomenon of regulatory gaming is introduced, followed by an analysis of the two primary theories of harm being used to address drug reformulations as a competition concern. In comparing the recent General Court decision in AstraZeneca to earlier U.S. court cases addressing similar conduct, it is asserted that these approaches differ in significant ways with regards to preservation of innovation incentives as well as on the basis of institutional and evidentiary concerns. Finally, this discussion is then placed into the broader context of the ongoing debate regarding pharmaceutical innovation that first surfaced in the Syfait cases—in particular, the desirability of sector-specific competition law analysis of pharmaceutical innovation.
