Abstract:

Court decisions are sought as a way to protect the social rights of citizens. The aim of the present study was to describe and compare records from three Brazilian courts in cases involving the public healthcare system and the results of these cases. A survey was made of the judgments listed on electronic sites of Justice Halls in states of Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Sul and Minas Gerais. A total of 558 judgments were analyzed. There was a greater frequency of ordinary cares (73.1%). In the majority of cases, to it was not possible to identify the juridical representative of the defendant (54.5%). In cases that such identification was possible, a public defender was the most common (71.5%). The cases were predominantly individual in all three states. There was a large number of requests for injunctions (83.8%), which were nearly always deferred (91.2%), with the allegation of urgency/emergency (98.8%). The majority of decisions were favorable to the users of the public healthcare system
