Código de Processo Civil

The Código de Processo Civil (Civil Procedure Code) is a set of legal rules in Brazil that governs how civil cases—such as disputes over contracts, property, or family matters—are conducted in court. It outlines procedures for filing lawsuits, presenting evidence, and ensuring fair processes for all parties involved. Its purpose is to promote efficiency, transparency, and justice in resolving civil disputes, providing a structured framework so that civil justice is accessible, predictable, and consistent across different cases and jurisdictions.
