What is Claim denied (improcedência)?

A denied claim is the rejection of the request on the merits (art. 487, I, of the CPC). The court resolves the question, but against the claimant: either the right does not exist or it was not demonstrated. It differs from dismissal without prejudice, where the claim is never actually adjudicated.

Denial is, in essence, the measure of a defense’s defensibility: it concentrates where the company’s evidence is solid. Across real Labor Court merits decisions, roughly one third of claims are denied — a share that rises for items where the document (time records, payslip, termination) contradicts the request.

How LABORIS AI uses it

LABORIS AI identifies, item by item, where denial is the likely outcome given the available evidence, so effort can be concentrated where the defense pays off and wasted litigation avoided where conviction is all but certain.
