OAB Paraná approves public redress for lawyer after microphone was disabled

The OAB Paraná has unanimously approved a public redress for lawyer Emmanuella Magro Denora following an incident during a remote hearing at the 4th Family Court of Curitiba. According to the entity, Denora had her microphone disabled by a judge at the request of the opposing party while she was speaking privately with her client.

The OAB-PR stated that the incident undermines professional prerogatives and emphasized that there is no hierarchy between the legal profession and the judiciary. The case will be forwarded to the General Corregedoria of Justice of Paraná, the Presidency of the Court of Justice of Paraná (TJPR), and the National Prosecutor for the Defense of Prerogatives of the Federal Council of the OAB. The event will also be recorded in the National Registry of Prerogative Violations.
