THE MULTI-PORT JUSTICE SYSTEM FOR CONFLICT RESOLUTION IN BRAZIL

Abstract

This study sought to identify the appropriate methods, within the multiport system, for conflict resolution for Brazilian society, in order to verify its main advantages and limitations. For this, a qualitative, descriptive and analytical approach was adopted, with bibliographical research as a data collection strategy. The results showed that multi-door justice can be classified into three main doors, with their respective sub-doors: the heterocomposition that involves the jurisdictional and the arbitral, has an impartial and neutral decision-making agent in a scenario of winners and losers; the self-composition that involves medication and conciliation, seeks to resolve the conflict between the parties with the help of an agent, with no winners; and, finally, self-protection, used for solutions to specific conflicts, permitted by law, following the principles of good faith and reasonableness. Each port has its advantages and specificities. The decision for an adequate alternative method contributes to unburden justice and make it faster, however, the adoption of a method does not rule out the possibility of seeking legal protection, if the alternative method does not work.
