Código de Processo Civil (CPC)

The Código de Processo Civil (CPC) is Brazil's legal framework that governs how civil legal cases are conducted in courts. It sets out the procedures for resolving disputes, such as disagreements over contracts, property, or family matters, ensuring fair and organized trials. The CPC defines rules for filing lawsuits, presenting evidence, appeals, and deadlines, aiming to make judicial processes transparent, efficient, and just for all parties involved. It functions as a guide to ensure consistent and proper handling of civil cases within the Brazilian legal system.
