In both Brazilian and US legal systems, delayed petitions require demonstrating 'good cause' or 'causa justa' for the delay. In Brazil, the term 'petição extemporânea' is particularly formal and technical, used when discussing procedural law. US courts may impose strict penalties for late filings, while Brazilian courts sometimes show greater flexibility in accepting delayed petitions with proper justification.
