Burden of proof and the subsidiary liability of the Public Administration in outsourcing
Keywords:
Outsourcing, Public Administration, Subsidiary Liability, Burden of ProofAbstract
The article discusses the STF's judgment of Theme 1,118, which defined that the subsidiary liability of the Public Administration for labor charges of outsourced companies is not automatic. The author explores the established thesis that it is up to the plaintiff to prove the failure in supervision (culpa in vigilando) or the causal link between state inertia and the damage, highlighting the importance of formal notification and diligent action by public bodies to avoid default.
