STF Suspends Plenary as Moraes Requests 'Pedido de Vista' After 5–2 Majority Forms

The pause leaves the court's majority vote unresolved and delays decisions on maternity‑leave equalization and an ITBI tax immunity dispute.

Overview

  • The Supreme Federal Court reconvened one day after a high‑profile Moraes ruling and began voting on multiple cases before the session was paused.
  • Just after a 5–2 majority emerged on one matter, Minister Alexandre de Moraes asked for a pedido de vista, a formal request to study the case that halts final judgment.
  • Minister Edson Fachin suspended the plenary and said the session will be resumed, a move that followed visible frustration from Minister Luiz Fux about repeated view requests leaving cases pending.
  • On the active docket are ADI 7495, which seeks equal maternity leave rules for biological and adoptive mothers and across employment categories, and a separate action on municipal ITBI tax immunity for capital integralization with real estate.
  • The pause means legal uncertainty will continue for affected mothers and municipal tax collections until the court reconvenes and the requesting minister returns the case to the bench.
