Judge rejects bid to limit Corinthians assembly, keeps 20 June statute vote format | OneFootball

A judge has dismissed Corinthians councillor Felipe Ezabella’s attempt to narrow the agenda of the General Assembly on 20 June, keeping the original format intact. Judge Rafael Viotti Schlobach, of the 3rd Civil Court at the Tatuapé Regional Forum, ruled that members at Parque São Jorge will vote on both the base text of the new statute and the 15 specific items approved by the Deliberative Council in April and May.

According to Meu Timao, Ezabella wanted the Assembly limited to those 15 points, excluding the base text that the Council had rejected. He had previously secured an injunction that halted the first Assembly called to address the reform.

With Ezabella joining the case, the court converted the matter from voluntary to contentious jurisdiction, citing a clear dispute of interests. He was added as a defendant and given 15 days to contest, while Corinthians was listed as a third interested party.

The original action was filed by six members linked to the Voz Corinthiana and Família Corinthians groups to safeguard the vote against potential court challenges. In his filing, Ezabella alleged the authors are aligned with suspended Deliberative Council president Romeu Tuma Júnior, who has been on leave since April, and who appointed the Statute Reform Commission in 2024.

The judge rejected Ezabella’s motion for clarification, finding the earlier ruling clear, coherent and properly reasoned on the convening’s formal regularity and the Assembly’s exclusive power to amend the statute. He said the filing showed dissatisfaction rather than omission, contradiction, obscurity or material error, which must be pursued via the proper appeal.

The 20 June Assembly therefore proceeds as convened by acting Council president Leonardo Pantaleão, with both the base text and the 15 items on the ballot.
