DURATION AND EXTINCTION OF ADMINISTRATIVE CONTRACTS IN THE NEW BRAZILIAN BIDDING LAW

Abstract

This article addresses the causes and consequences of the termination of administrative contracts. The choice of topic is justified by the limited bibliography on the subject, by the recent enactment of Law 14.133/2021 (New Law on Bids and Administrative Contracts) and by the relevance of the causes and effects arising from the termination of contracts entered into by the Public Administration, which require attention to the continuity of serving the public interest. It is intended to use deductive and comparative methods to analyze the similarities and differences between legislative treatments conferred by Law 8.666/1993 and Law 14.133/2021. After studying the legal aspects of the duration of administrative contracts, the text will focus on the causes of termination of the contractual relationship and the forms and consequences of the termination.
