Abstract

The regulation of default in suit´s reply, from the beginning of labour procedure reform, has promoted two opposing opinions, which assign different effects to the article 453 subsection 7° of the Labor Code. In order to prove the previous statement, this work offers an analysis which considers not only the effect of no suit´s reply, but also the legal possibility for the judge to omit the proofs in the trial because of the default, the opportunity to exercise the faculty and the necessary set of the controversial facts, even when there is a defendant in default, in observance of the constitutional guarantee, and also the opinion in doctrine and labour judicial precedent about the subject, with the purpose of elucidating the controversy. It can be concluded that it´s improbable to unify the opinions adopted, nevertheless a majority part of our justice, has been inclined towards the explicit support of one of the two existent interpretations, the ficta confessio.
