[/səˈpɔːrtɪd ˈruːlɪŋ/]
nounpl: supported rulings
decisão apoiada
1. A legal decision or judgment that has been upheld or validated by supporting evidence, precedent, or higher authority
The court issued a supported ruling based on extensive legal precedent.
O tribunal emitiu uma decisão apoiada em amplo precedente legal.
2. A judicial determination that is backed by logical reasoning, documentation, or consensus from relevant parties
The judge's supported ruling took into account all submitted evidence and testimony.
A decisão apoiada do juiz levou em consideração todas as provas e depoimentos apresentados.
This is formal legal terminology used in both Brazilian and American judicial systems. In Brazil, 'decisão apoiada' or 'sentença fundamentada' emphasizes that a ruling must be explicitly justified according to the Brazilian Civil Procedure Code (CPC). In the USA, court rulings must be supported by law and evidence. This reflects the importance of transparency and legal reasoning in both legal systems.
