NEW PERSPECTIVES TO THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MONEY JUDGMENT ENFORCEMENT IN THE CANADIAN CIVIL PROCEDURE REFORM PROJECT AND THE BRAZILIAN CIVIL EXECUTION

Abstract

The article analyses the main features of the 2005 Canadian Uniform Civil Enforcement of Money Judgment Act, a model law aimed at revamping and uniformizing the provisions regarding the enforcement of money judgments across the country, which, unlike the 2015 Brazilian Civil Procedure Code, rejects the use of civil licenses suspension as a legal remedy to enforce this kind of debt. Comparing this law reform proposal with the Brazilian execution systematic, the article aims to highlight the similarities and differences between these two legal systems, searching for alternatives to the effectiveness of money judgments enforcement in Brazilian Law.
