Direct Action for Unconstitutionality by Omission (ADO): In Generality

The article deals with unconstitutionality by omission within a generalist perspective, in the light of the most recent legal doctrines and analyses. Discussions that deal with the appropriateness of a writ of mandamus and the problematization with the lack of legal homogeneity in Brazil in these cases are observed here, especially about doctrinal conflicts. The actions and problems related to the ordinary effects in the ADO are debated within the recent doctrine, based on the understandings presented by the scholars, legislators, and the Superior Courts.
