Our lawyer Pedro Diniz da Silva Oliveira analyses developments in the case law of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) regarding private social security law, in an article published in Migalhas.
In the article, Pedro points out that there are more than 13 established precedents among the summaries and theses set out in incidents of repetitive appeals, and that this consolidated case law is the result of consistent debates on the most diverse aspects of pension contracts, ensuring compliance with the principles of this branch of law.
“The guiding principle is clear: we must understand private pensions as an autonomous system, equipped with the capacity for organisation through co-participatory management and transparency of information, whilst respecting the principles of contractuality, optionality and the actuarial financial balance of benefit plans.”
