RESUMO
The main goal of this study is the adequacy of representation analysis, to contribute to enlarge the protection of the collective rights, especially because this very important institute is not a principle of the collective suits in Brazil. Transindividual rights have begun to been studied from the time people became aware of their status as individuals living in community, seeking in the mass society and with others in the same situation help for their problems and strength to their claims. Absorbed this class-consciousness by the individuals, which begins in the middle 1900s in the countries with common law rights, began the development of collective process, which reaches an important level of maturation at the XX century. The intention of this work was to reveal the significance of the adequacy of representation, because without their actual compliance, there can not be considered effectively protected the collective rights and it will not be possible to affirm that the collective process are really useful and effective in relation to their goals. Thus, it was shown that the adequacy of representation is essential institute for the standing for the class actions, already by the actual legislation. It must be observed by the judge not only in relation to the civil associations, but also to the Public Prosecution Service and to the citizen itself, that we considered should be possible to propose collective actions. Otherwise, in relation to the defendant class actions, not foreseen in our laws, but actually existing, the compliance with the institute is essential, so as not to infringe basic individual guarantees. Furthermore, the adequacy of representation has to be applied in relation to res judicata, because, with its compliance, it would be possible to impose the erga omnes res judicata, without be possible to argue violations to individual rights and guarantees, because it would be ensured the social due process.
