"The surprise decision prohibition principle is a direct consequence of the principle of contradiction, not too dissimilar to the adversary procedure in common law. In Brazil, said principle is called Princípio do Contraditório, and it is established both as a fundamental right of litigants in art. 5th, LV, of the Brazilian Constitution (BRASIL, [2022a]), and as a fundamental norm of Brazilian civil procedure in art. 9th of CPC (BRASIL, [2021b]). In fact, as Marinoni, Arenhart and Mitidiero (2017b, p. 507) point out, this principle is the basis of a Constitutional State, the minimum prerequisite for a just ruling and an organized Justice administration."
