| Resumo: | The civil liability is particularly relevant in today's society to emerge as feature to restore the social balance in the face of damage caused by the breach of general duty of care or the contractual default. Aiming to provide ample compensation, were developed mechanisms to mitigate the verification of responsibility assumptions and extends protection to the victim. However, the equitable reduction of the compensation provided for in the sole paragraph of Article 944 of the Civil Code, acts as a limiter to full compensation for the damage, if any disproportion between damage and guilt. This study aims to examine whether, in the face of contemporary theory of contractual default - that recognizes the occurrence of guilt by mere voluntary breach of the covenant between contracting parties - would apply the aforementioned device to cases of contractual liability and, where appropriate, which limits need to be observed. |
