Introduction and Personal Background00:00:00
Professor Gleibe Pretti, from Jus Expert, introduces himself as an expert, technical assistant since 2011, and university professor, having authored over 100 books in law. He celebrates a student's first appointment as an expert.
Common Misconception about Presenting Opinions00:00:53
Professor Pretti addresses the common belief that a technical assistant's opinion (parecer) can only be presented after the expert's report (laudo pericial) is submitted. He questions the legal basis for this restriction.
Legality of Early Opinion Submission00:01:13
He clarifies that the law does not prohibit the submission of a technical assistant's opinion before the expert report. It can be attached to the process with the aim of guiding the appointed expert.
Strategic Advantage of Early and Subsequent Opinions00:01:47
Submitting a preliminary technical opinion when presenting questions (quesitos), and then another opinion challenging the expert report, provides two powerful instruments in the process, which is a sound legal strategy. He concludes by stating that anything not prohibited by law is permitted.
