LITIGÂNCIA PREDATÓRIA: IMPACTOS NO PODER JUDICIÁRIO E ESTRATÉGIAS DE COMBATE NO ESTADO DE MATO GROSSO DO SUL

Abstract

This study addresses the phenomenon of predatory litigation and its impacts on the Brazilian judiciary, with a focus on the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Predatory litigation, characterized by the abusive use of the right to legal action, leads to an overload of the judicial system, resulting in increased costs, obstruction of access to justice, and compromised procedural speed. The analysis is based on data provided by courts and theoretical studies, presenting as combat strategies the use of technologies and tools such as the Strategic Directive No. 7 from the National Council of Justice (CNJ) and the role of Judicial Intelligence Centers. The role of the Superior Court of Justice in the judgment of REsp 2.021.665, which proposed new guidelines to curb abusive litigation, was also examined. The study concludes that effectively addressing this phenomenon requires integrated and collaborative measures between judicial bodies.
