Supplementary clause of the Civil Procedure Law in the contentious-administrative order

Abstract

This study serves to review some of the issues that have generated most controversy in the jurisdictional practice in relation to the scope and significance of the supplementary clause of the Civil Procedure Law in the contentious-administrative order. This analysis is intended to illustrate about the work of weighting between different procedural principles and structures involved in the application of this clause and the difficulty in finding clearly defined interpretive criteria in order to decide on the appropriateness of their use for achieve the integration of possible regulatory gaps or identify, where appropriate, a legislative will aimed at providing a different procedural response to a specific procedure or institution.
