What is Court order — non-decisional (despacho)?

Also: despacho · procedural order · mere-progress order

A despacho is a judicial act that merely moves the case forward, without deciding anything. Unlike a judgment or an interlocutory decision, it resolves no question (art. 203, §3º, of the CPC): it schedules a hearing, opens a view, orders service. Because it causes no harm, it is not appealable (art. 1.001).

Routine as it is, it often carries deadlines — and is frequently the trigger for a service of notice. Ignoring a seemingly innocuous order can mean losing a procedural window.

How LABORIS AI uses it

LABORIS AI separates mere-progress acts from those that require a response, avoiding noise in the dashboard. When an order opens a deadline, the system turns it into a dated agenda item, not a false alarm.
