A member of the Partido de Renovação Social (PRS) applied for an unspecified interim measure against the party, alleging breaches of its statutes in preparing its 5th Ordinary Congress and his open-ended suspension when he intended to stand for party president. The Court granted the measure and ordered the PRS to refrain from holding the announced congress, finding a prima facie case (fumus boni juris) and urgency (periculum in mora), given the principles of legality in sanctions and internal democracy.
