The Supreme Court of Justice denied the request to mandate an autopsy for a work-related death case. The court held that Article 103 of the Code of Labor Procedure does not establish a binding proof method requiring autopsy. Consequently, the court ruled that such an examination is not necessary to prove the cause of death.

SUMÁRIO

A inserção sistematica do artigo 103 do Codigo de Processo de Trabalho logo demonstra, por si so, que tal artigo não tem por finalidade estabelecer um meio vinculado de prova que as partes tivessem que acatar para provar a causa da morte do sinistrado. Nada pois exige, necessariamente, a realização da autopsia; nem aquele artigo 103, nem o artigo 236 do Codigo do Registo Civil.
