The lawyer who charges R$51 million from businessman Pablo must prove that he is poor if he wants to have his request for free justice granted. This was stated by judge Daniela  Leal, from the 2nd Civil Court of  SP.

 

The action involves a promise made by the businessman, on a live program. Pablo  said that he does not sue anyone, and that he would pay 1 million dollars to anyone who found a lawsuit filed by him. 

 

Remember the scene:

 

Pablo  promises US$ 1 million to anyone who finds a lawsuit filed by him; lawyer finds and charges

 

Lawyer César  found 10 actions. Now, he is demanding the promised R$51 million in court.

 

In the petition, the lawyer declares that he is "poor in accordance with the law", unable to bear the costs and fees without jeopardizing his own livelihood and that of his family.

 

In the order, the judge states that granting the request is conditional on effective proof of need. She says that the benefit must be reserved for people who are effectively disabled, "under penalty of trivializing and making judicial provision unfeasible for the entire community."

 

"In the present case, the elements of the initial petition, supported by various research and Public Deeds, as well as the legal activities carried out by the author, demonstrate that he is not a poor person in the legal sense of the term. Furthermore, he did not deduce any concrete facts regarding alleged state of poverty and didn't even add a statement."

 

Therefore, it was determined that the author must provide a copy of the income tax returns for the last two years, within 15 days, under penalty of denial of the benefit.

Passive pole

 

In the same order, the judge orders the author to add the initial to exclude the company from being the defendant. She states that the act of promise was carried out by an individual, and it is not clear in the records why the legal entity was included.

 

"Particularly because, as stated in the list of actions mentioned in the beginning, the legal entity is not even part of the active pole of any action, and even if it were part, the object of the action arises from the speech of the individual Pablo Henrique Costa  of in such a way that nothing justifies the maintenance of  as the defendant."
