Law: Contract(s)
This from a petitiona about patents:
'Outrossim, a prova de que a contestacao ja havia sido apresentada antes de proferida a decisao agravada encontra-se no proprio decisum de fls. 501, ja que o Juizo monocratico, na mesma oportunidade, abriu vista para a ora oagravante apresentar sua replica.'
I suppose it means the judge takes decisions alone, but I'm not sure how best to say that in English.
thanks

Portuguese term (edited):
ju�zo monocratico
Selected
trial court / lower court
In Brazil, the trial court or lower court is presided over by just one judge (could technically also be called a one-judge court), while superior courts have panels of judges.
In English, "monocratic" usually refers to rule by monocracy, though, not a trial court.
