Brazilian state courts suspend in-person sessions amid renovation and World Cup

The Tribunal de Justiça da Bahia issued Decree No. 934, suspending all in‑person activities at the Senhor do Bonfim courthouse from June 29 to July 14, 2026, to accommodate renovation work that would generate noise, dust and safety concerns. Services will continue remotely, with a staff member available on‑site for public inquiries.

Meanwhile, the Tribunal de Justiça do Paraná postponed a domestic‑violence hearing originally set for June 29, 2026, deferring it to April 29, 2028, because of the Brazil‑Japan World Cup match. The suspension follows Decree No. 308/2026‑TJPR, which halted court proceedings during the match.

Both courts emphasize continuity of judicial functions through remote work while adjusting schedules for extraordinary circumstances.
