A incidência da técnica de ampliação do colegiado nas apelações cíveis do Tribunal de Justiça do Estado do Ceará e suas implicações práticas

Abstract

The criticized technique of expansion of the collegiate, included in the last moments of the discussion about the final text of the Civil Procedure Code in its article 942, without even having been mentioned in its draft, was intended to replace the infringing appeals and, concomitantly, ensure greater depth to the debate and greater celerity to the procedural system. Through empirical research, we seek to analyze the realization, or not, of the original purposes of this legal figure, already mentioned above, within the scope of the Court of Justice of the State of Ceará, more specifically in comparison between the years 2014 to 2018, excluding the year 2016 because this is the year in which the current Code came into force.
