Case Summary

In the lawsuit brought by Representative Fernando Capez against sports journalist Juca Kfouri, the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice (STJ) rejected the request that the journalist be ordered to cease offending the reputation (honor) and figure of Capez. The Court held that any measure leading to the limitation of the freedom of press should be readily dismissed.

The decision establishes a binding or persuasive precedent within its jurisdiction.
