Art. 23 da LINDB - O equilíbrio entre mudança e previsibilidade na hermenêutica jurídica

Abstract

The paper examines art. 23, recently amended to the Introduction Law to Brazilian Law Standards. Initially, it presents some considerations concerning Law and its contemporary challenges, to demonstrate the context and the importance of the amendments and their effort to enhance legal certainty, especially regarding public law interpretation. Additionally, the paper presents in which cases the new article should be referred, in administrative, oversight and judicial field and which entities are part of each. Relevant terms from art. 23 are also interpreted, like “decisions”, which include not only those decisions arising from dispute resolution, but also those with normative and integrative aspects.
