The Federal Supreme Court (STF) has always reaffirmed the uniqueness of the judiciary and the National Council of Justice (CNJ), through recommendation 75/2020, determined the extent of the right to state judiciary, correcting the previous omission.
Administrative recognition covers active and retired magistrates who acted between 15/01/2015 and 30/04/2022 with accumulation of collection without proper compensation. However, no payment has been made so far, as the implementation depends on authorization from the CNJ and the financial availability of the TJPB, which always acts with balance and fiscal responsibility.
Finally, all administrative acts rigorously follow the legislation and guidelines of the CNJ, and the process has always been accessible to the public, reaffirming the commitment of AMPB and TJPB to transparency.
