The Supreme Federal Court (STF) has suspended a judgment concerning a contract dispute between the Court of Justice of Bahia (TJ-BA) and Banco de Brasília (BRB). The case involves a preliminary injunction to extend a contract for the administration of judicial deposits, administrative funds, and bail money for an additional 90 days.

Justice Gilmar Mendes requested more time for analysis, halting proceedings in the STF’s Second Panel. The dispute arose after the Bahia Court opted to hire Caixa Econômica Federal instead of renewing with BRB. The Government of the Federal District, BRB’s controlling shareholder, filed a lawsuit to extend the contract, arguing that the loss of the Bahia contract—which generates approximately R$ 394 million monthly—could jeopardize the bank’s liquidity following financial losses related to securities linked to the liquidated Banco Master.
