Limites à autonomia privada

Abstract

Private autonomy is one of the main principles of Civil Law and it indicates the power given by juridical order to people to rule their own juridical relationships. The private autonomy concept itself reveals that this power isn t absolute. It means that people s will must be conformed to public order rules and good behavior. Some of theses limits are easy to be applied because they are detailed by law. However, there are limits in juridical order that are general clauses, and other limits that even have express determination, but are given by the dynamic of the system. In theses hypothesis, its complex to define private autonomy limits, due to the inexistence of a generic formula that can be applied to every situation. In these cases, the limits are extract case by case, taking into consideration elements that, sometimes, are beyond juridical order. This work aims to study private autonomy limits that are consequences of the general clauses, the property social function, the contract social function, the good-faith and from the conflict between private autonomy and individual rights
