O requisito da repercussão geral como elemento de efetividade do recurso extraordinário em matéria ambiental

Abstract

The research aimed to examine the impact of juridical general repercussion as a requirement of admissibility, inserted by Constitutional Amendment 45/2004 and regulated by Law No 11.418/06, as its implications for future judicial extraordinary appeals based on the environmental resources. The methodology adopted was the research on the available data basis of doctrine, legislation and court decisions. Analyzing the juridical general repercussion as a requirement of admissibility, and its configuration within the transcendence hypothesis (economics, political, social and juridical) in comparison to the fundamental right to a healthy and balanced environment, it was realized that the requirement is not just a tool for a judicial filtering of the extraordinary appeals, but also is an element of effectiveness for the extraordinary appeals that deals with the constitucional environmental issues, in face of the subjective paradigm shift towards to another one, with more objective characteristics. With this goal, a less formal alternative was presented (related to the timing of the requirement analisys), wich is the presumption of the juridical general repercussion in the public civil and popular law suits; a more active participation of the amicus curiae even in the preliminaries stages; and the disruption of the impossibility of the review of the facts dogma, to allow a hermeneutics more focused on the environmental protection, using, to do so, the laws that address to the concentrated control of constitutionality as the laws that invoke the breach of the fundamental precept.
