Overview

• Dino argued that solo rulings follow settled jurisprudence and noted that individual decisions exist across branches, citing congressional leaders’ powers and presidential provisional measures.
• He said the Supreme Court is not intruding on Congress’s prerogatives and suggested the proposed legislation would not substantively change current practice.
• The Chamber’s Constitution and Justice Commission approved the bill in a terminative vote on Sept. 30, setting the text to be sent directly to the Senate.
• The proposal restricts solo injunctions to exceptional situations such as urgency, grave risk, relevant social interest or court recess, requires explicit written justification, and mandates review at the next Supreme Court plenary session, with possible modulation of effects if later altered.
• The bill also tightens who can bring cases to the Court by limiting standing to parties that meet the performance clause and imposing tougher rules on smaller parties, federations, unions and class entities, a push revived after the pro-Bolsonaro motim targeting Congress’s board.
