TST recognizes caregiver's default due to nine-minute delay in virtual hearing: the importance of punctuality in judicial proceedings
The Superior Labor Court (TST) upheld a decision recognizing the default of an elderly caregiver due to a nine-minute delay in entering a virtual evidentiary hearing, resulting in the application of a fictitious confession in favor of the opposing party. The decision reinforces that punctuality is essential in virtual hearings, as per article 844 of the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT), which provides for default in the event of the claimant's absence. Although case law has relaxed minimum delays in some cases, the TST strictly followed the law, emphasizing the importance of strict adherence to timetables. The recommendation for workers and lawyers is to arrive at hearings at least 15 minutes early to avoid setbacks and procedural losses.
