Abstract
This article aims to analyze the phenomenon of predatory litigation, which consists of the abusive use of the Judiciary with the intention of causing financial harm to third parties. Initially, the history of predatory litigation in the United States is presented, with the creation of antitrust laws and jurisprudence on the subject. Next, the metaprocedural effects of predatory litigation are addressed, which go beyond the judicial decision and may have strategic motivations. The article also analyzes the perception of the phenomenon by the Brazilian Judiciary, with the identification of emblematic cases and the adoption of measures to curb this practice. Finally, public policies are proposed to address predatory litigation, with an emphasis on awareness, prevention, institutional strengthening, and the promotion of alternative dispute resolution methods. The goal is to contribute to the construction of a more efficient and fair justice system, capable of curbing the abusive use of the Judiciary.
