O MINISTÉRIO PÚBLICO E A PROTEÇÃO DA PESSOA INCAPAZ
Abstract
The present study focuses on the performance of the Public Prosecutor's Office with regard to the protection of the incapable person, based on a systematic and non-exhaustive exposition of the literature and legislation. Thus, the present investigation was organized into five axes: the historical evolution of the Public Ministry as an institution, the legal nature, its performance in the civil area, with emphasis on causes that involve the protection of the incapable person and, finally, the performance of the Public Prosecutor's Office in the protection of persons with disabilities, in view of the changes brought by the Statute of Persons with Disabilities (Law 13.146/15) in the cases of incapacity provided for in arts. 3 and 4 of the Civil Code.
