O dano consequencial

: a questão da causalidade

Abstract

The present dissertation aims at the study of consequential damage. The objective is to elucidate whether the concept, as defined in comparative law, has applicability considering the legal norms in force in our law. Through the investigation of existing approaches in jurisprudence and doctrine, we conclude that we are dealing with an elusive theme, capable of embracing different results. The study indicates that its application in comparative law is fraught with various doubts and reveals that the use of (our) theory of adequate causality may signal more effective results. In an attempt to contribute useful and convenient to the legal universe today, we will give some suggestions to avoid unwanted results in the contractual provision.
