What is Motion for clarification (embargos de declaração)?

A motion for clarification corrects defects in a decision, not its justice. It lies against a judgment or an appellate ruling that contains an omission, contradiction, obscurity or material error (art. 897-A of the CLT; art. 1.022 of the CPC), within five days, and it interrupts the deadline for the other appeals.

It is also the instrument of prequestioning: by prompting the court to rule on a matter left in silence, it opens the way to appeals before the higher courts. Well used, it refines the decision; misused, it merely delays.
