RESUMO

This research analyzed the political effects of the introduction of collective rights in the Brazilian Law and the manner in which these rights are treated in the Judiciary. After more than twenty years from the creation of the Law n. 7.347/85, regarding the Ação Civil Pública (ACP), still we do not have a critical assessment and more conclusive analysis on how the Judiciary is processing collective actions. We intend to fill this gap. The objectives of this research are twofold: a) analyze the way in which the ACP is understood and processed by the Tribunal de Justiça de São Paulo, through the courts jurisprudence; b) analyze the representation of collective interests in the Judiciary, with an emphasis in the extraordinary legitimacy attributed, by law, to non-governmental and governmental organizations. On a broader perspective, our intent is to evaluate the judicial sphere of collective conflict resolution as an important part of the institutional framework of Brazilian democracy, contributing for the understanding of the regime after the democratization of the late 80s
