The court dismissed the subordinate's claim for damages based on internal adverse information provided by a superior regarding service classification. The plaintiff argued that such information constituted a wrongful act, while the defendant maintained that no subjective fault was proven. The court ruled that without evidence of intent or negligence, the internal communication cannot serve as a basis for indemnification.

SUMÁRIO

As informações internas desfavoráveis feitas pelo superior hierárquico a respeito do seu subordinado e destinadas à sua classificação de serviço não podem servir de fundamento para pedido indemnizatório formulado pelo último, se não for feita a prova de que aquele agiu com dolo ou mera culpa, recaindo sobre o requerente o respectivo ónus.
