The present work aims to analyze the phenomenon of predatory litigation, identifying its types, features, how it impacts the society, and possible measures to contain it. This thesis adheres to the Procedural Law Research Line of the Stricto Sensu Postgraduate Program in Law at the State University of Rio de Janeiro and seeks to evaluate this phenomenon in the context of access to justice movements. The research aims to understand how predatory litigation represents the abusive exercise of the right to litigate, a paradox of access to justice, and must be combated. The thesis addresses the various forms in which abusive litigation manifests and how this practice affects effective access to justice, as it impacts the efficiency of the judicial system, legal security, and the rights of litigants. The methodology used in the thesis includes a literature review of national and foreign doctrine and empirical research of Brazilian and foreign jurisdictions precedents, allowing a comparative law study on the topic. The thesis also analyzes data from the National Council of Justice and statistics from Brazilian courts on the topic. Theresearch results will assist in proposing alternative measures to mitigate the phenomenon of predatory litigation, which is of great relevance as an original contribution to legal science.
