After passing the 1st instance, the share of applications for pension funds of retired Bóris Fávero Angelina, 78, was found in less than four years by TRF (Federal Regional Court) of the 3rd Region. By Brazilian standards of justice, the decision was swift.

The highest speed was possible because the court of 2nd instance created in extraordinary character, the trial classes with a majority of judges of 1st instance (as a rule, classes are composed only by desembargadores). However, thousands of decisions such as that received by retired are at risk of cancellation.

According to the report, the cuts the top of the Judiciary-STJ (Superior Court of Justice) and STF (Supreme Court) - may lead to zero over 240 thousand trials of resources for courts in 2nd collegiate body made for more judges 1st instance of that desembargadores.

This type of composition of judges violates classes, in theory, the rules of judicial organization of the country. The sheet states that any declaration of invalidity could reach criminal and civil cases, and even result in the release of convicted criminal acts.
