Abstract:
This paper aims to analyze the institute of civil liability, provided for in the
Brazilian Civil Code of 2022, the basic principles of the family, present in
Articles 229 and 230 of the Federal Constitution of 1988, and the Statute of the
Elderly, regulated by Law No. 10.741/03. The aforementioned norms deal with
the forms of civil liability for those who cause damage to others, even if by
immoral acts, the principles that govern the family and the law for the protection
of the elderly, respectively. In view of the changes and evolutions in today's
society, the following question arises: is it possible that the abandonment of
affection for the elderly can be a question of analysis for civil liability? The
present study aims to analyze this question, trying to verify if the abandonment
of affection for the elderly can be considered a civil illicit act and, therefore,
liable to compensation.
