In an article published by VEJA, our partner Bruno Corrêa Burini analyses the impacts of the recent decision by the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court (STF) on the THC2 matter and the limits of the Federal Court of Auditors (TCU) in matters falling within the remit of regulatory agencies.
In addition to the impacts on bonded warehousing operations and their costs, the controversy highlights the interaction between different authorities and areas of jurisdiction in matters involving both regulatory and competition-related aspects.
Bruno specifically analyses why the decision is unable to become a precedent due to the particularities of the case and the context that brought the matter before the Supreme Court. He also examines the developments of the controversy before the STF and the difficulties in considering the recent decision as a theoretical benchmark for defining the limits of the TCU’s powers.
