paper, distinguishing it in part from the approach made by other Brazilian
authors (and also some Europeans) who have examined it.
With regard to foreign doctrine, the exploration carried out in this
research was by no means exhaustive – specially because the peculiarities

repercussion of environmental legislation on lending activities, but, in the
Brazilian case, this issue is far from being the only one that has already

point, in the case of Brazil, there is not really what to discuss, given the real
estate nature of environmental obligations (as has been evident since the
1965 Forest Code, for example, regarding rural properties and permanent
preservation areas) – they follow the property upon each transfer of
ownership.

authors since the pioneering work of Ana Luci Esteves Grizzi and others,
published in 2003.

resource is previously known, but also in every king of lending including
that carried out to individuals or companies due to regular business
activities, such as working capital.
Another innovation of my approach is the fact that it’s not
restricted to environmental damages – an approach chosen by all those who
