The horizontal effects of fundamental rights in Brazil: a look on the judgement of the Extraordinary Appeal 201.819-8 from the contemporary constitutionalism
Abstract
courts, specifically the Brazilian Supreme Court, and how this new constitutional motion in judicial decisions can be observed. The answer is sought by analyzing the judgment of the Extraordinary Appeal 201.819-8. As for the approach, the method is deductive, as a part of general concepts about the new constitutional law and the
horizontal effect of fundamental rights, to subsequently verify the presence of these effects in this case. In the background, the method used is mainly the monographic, since it works with a concrete case. Finally, the decision in the case had its majority voted in favor of recognition of the horizontal effect and can be seen clearly in the
arguments used by the Ministers, the acceptance and application of neoconstitutionalism phenomena.
