A vitalidade da duplicata frente às novas tecnologias

Abstract

This work addresses the evolution of the duplicate within the scenarios experienced by Brazilian trade until it reaches its current form, the book-entry form, which is a faithful reflection of the new commercial requirements. Credit note is considered the necessary document for the exercise of the literal and autonomous right mentioned therein. This definition was registered by Vivante, in 1929, in his work “Trattato di Diritto Commerciale” and, it is from it that we are able to extract the principi logical basis of all exchange matter. The controversy is generated by different interpretations of the expression “necessary document”, thus leading to doubts about the vitality of the virtual duplicate as a credit security.
