Os requisitos de validade do negócio jurídico nos contratos eletrônicos: uma análise a partir da jurisprudência do Superior Tribunal de Justiça

Abstract

The advent of the digital era and rapid technological evolution have significantly altered the dynamics of legal business, with electronic contracts standing out as a central element of this transformation. As they are formalized instruments in the digital environment, a range of legal questions arise regarding the singularities of this business model and its compatibility with traditional legal business models, as stated in the Civil Code of 2002. In the meantime, the present work aims to analyze the legitimacy of electronic contracts in the national legal system, verifying their consonance with the infraconstitutional norms regarding Contract Law and the jurisprudence of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) in the last five years. Methodologically, the research started from a hypothetical-deductive perspective, with qualitative approach, and focused on bibliographical, documentary and case study procedures, specifically normative acts, judgments of the STJ and specialized doctrine regarding contract law.
