RESUMO

This thesis aims at examining the way the Brazilian Supreme Court (Supremo Tribunal Federal STF) handles legislative omission in matters involving constitutional issues. For this, we performed a research based on analysis of a series of STF decisions on legislative omission lawsuits (direct actions of unconstitutionality by omission and writ of injunction) from 1988 to 2009. By examining the constitutional protections against the absence of a regulatory provision that disables the exercise of constitutional rights, this study attempts to offer a diagnostic of the dynamics presiding Judicary actions in politically loaded issues and to investigate the ways the Court decides such cases. There are two types of legislative omission control express in the Constitution concentrated and diffuse which are analysed in detail. In the first case, the focus is on the causes and results linked to the judicialization of politics. The profile of the plaintiffs and the salience of issues are factors leading to the prominent role played by political parties here. In the second case, the study focuses itself on the injunctions granted by the Court and their connection to the efficacy of constitutional norms. This paper suggests that only recently the STF has decided to start granting injunctions guaranteeing that plaintiffs exercise specific, non-statutory rights until the Legislature remedies the omission on the matter. It also suggests that non compliance with the Courts previous rulings on legislative omission has been a key factor in the more resolute stance recently adopted by the Court, when it comes determining the rule applicable in this case, without playing a role of rule-maker. In conclusion, this study holds that the Courts actions are not a chapter of judicial activism insofar it does not directly interfere with the substance of legislative action.
