SUPREME COURT decision makes it possible to correct compliance documents joined to sentence

The third panel of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) concluded, before the recess, which discussed the possibility of joined documents the process, even after the sentence have become final.

The Ministers unanimously rejected the appeal of the executing company debt andaccepted the appeal of the Bank of Brazil, to the joined documents. According to Minister Raul Aguilar, author of the vote-a view presented as search the correct fulfillment of the sentence. The Minister said that this is not, as the company, the production of new evidence after sentencing.

Raul Aguilar is part of the Fourth Chamber of the SUPREME COURT, and was called up for the third Class to complete the quorum necessary for completion of the trial,due to impediments and retirements in this Board.

In the case examined, a company filed a lawsuit to collect improper entries in bank account held by the Bank. The cause initially sought compensation of just over 18000 R$. After the recognition of merit and detailed analysis of the case, it was known that the Bank would have to give the approximate value of 200,000 R$.

Already in the process of forensic accounting, other values were found with improper releases. The application of interest, fine and took the final value inflationary fixesfor the amount of R$ 384,000,000. This amount raised the request, by the Bank, the joined documents (bank statements) to challenge the settlement, due to the value of the calculations, considered exorbitant.

Processing

For the Minister Raul Aguilar, there is no need to talk about impossibility of joined, since the decisions of the Court of Goiás (TJGO) demonstrate that the expertise was not closed. The magistrate summarises the problems brought via recourse to the SUPREME COURT:

"As noted, the calculation of the quantum phase debeatur not ended, being the case conference and presentation yet of calculations by the counter. If it is possible thedocument joined at that stage of the Conference, is the discussion that puts in this appeal, which is therefore not harmed ".

The Minister explained that the judge of first instance realized the peculiarity of thecase and adopted measures to ensure the correctness of the amounts due, since thesimple values intended settlement after the first calculation could mean illicit enrichment of the company.

With the decision, the Bank can attach the required documents (bank statements with the complete movement of the account) to the correct analysis of the amounts due in the cause, which was judged on merit.
