Nelson Rosenvald participa de audiência pública sobre a atualização do Código Civil

Furthermore, here is a brief excerpt published by Agência Senado: “Professor and lawyer Nelson Rosenvald pointed out that most lawsuits involve civil liability, but he noted that the current Civil Code offers only a limited response to the issue, due to the text’s lack of clarity and the absence of a more systematic organization. He emphasized that current legislation contains only 27 provisions on the subject and argued that the future Civil Code should provide greater predictability through the adoption of objective criteria to assist judges in their work.

According to him, the Civil Code does not yet play the central role it should in addressing civil liability. For Rosenvald, it is essential to ensure greater legal certainty while maintaining a delicate balance: while free enterprise must be safeguarded, it is indispensable to protect victims and guarantee them full compensation for damages.”
