STF: Check out judgments on agenda in 2025; Year of the Judiciary started today

The president of the Federal Supreme Court, Minister Luís Roberto Barroso, opened on Monday (3) the work of the judiciary for 2025. In this year’s agenda, the Supreme Court will have important points ranging from police lethality in favelas to political issues to political issues , as an amnesty those involved on January 8 and investigations into former President Jair Bolsonaro and 39 others accused of involvement in a coup plot. The Attorney General’s Office is expected to submit the complaint in February to start the process, which should not be so fast.
Labor guidelines
Labor issues will also be in the focus of court debates this year. With important judgments, the Court should bring significant changes in the labor area, as it was in 2024. In the last year, the constitutionality of the intermittent employment contract, the adoption of new criteria for granting free justice and the review of points of the Labor reform. For 2025, controversial themes return to the agenda, with judgments of general repercussion. These include what is about the employment bond between application drivers and digital platforms (Theme 1.291).

Last year, the Supreme Court recognized the existence of general repercussion of the matter dealt with in Extraordinary Appeal 1,446,336, presented by the Uber platform. In individual cases judgments, the Supreme Court has given signs that it will prevail the understanding that there is no employment relationship between the two parties, which would contribute to the closing of thousands of proceedings, including collective actions proposed by unions and even by the Ministry Labor Audience (MPT).
Lawyers explain that the employment bond is characterized by subordination, which would put application drivers out of this understanding because they have freedom to choose platforms for those who work and define their hours and workplaces.
Another relevant theme deals with the possibility of including a company allegedly belonging to the same economic group in the execution phase, without me participating in the process of knowledge. The decision can bring billionaire impacts on companies and cause severe reflexes to companies in various segments. It is estimated that more than 2 million cases are suspended waiting for this decision.

The Supreme Court will also have to restart the trial, in a face -to -face session, about the inclusion of the recess period between classes in calculating the salary of private school teachers in elementary, middle or higher. The issue was defined in the virtual plenary, but was eventually transferred after Minister Edson Fachin’s prominent request.
Social media
Still on the STF’s agenda are the discussion about social networking regulation, this involves the rules of the Internet Civil Mark. In this one that will be Barroso’s last year in charge of the house, the trial intends to resume this discussion about the responsibility of digital platforms in combating misinformation and hate speeches that spread the world network. This process came into discussion last year, but was interrupted because Minister André Mendonça asked more time to analyze the case. It is expected that as soon as Mendonça returns the process, Barroso take the theme again to the plenary.
