      Bahia 247 - Following the preliminary decision by the Supreme Federal Court (STF) and the regulation by the National Council of Justice (CNJ) for federal judges to receive housing allowance, the Court of Justice of Bahia (TJ-BA) formed a group of advisors and magistrates to discuss the criteria that will determine who will receive the allowance and who will occupy the official residences of the court, according to a publication on the Bahia Notícias website.

      According to the court president, Judge Eserval Rocha (pictured), "unlike other states, we have to solve some problems here, because we have residences, and we have to first determine which judges will receive the benefit and which will not, since where there is an official residence, the benefit is not received."

      Based on the criteria, the president stated that he will observe and request information from the relevant departments to determine "where the money will come from" to pay the allowance to the magistrates, which is expected to have an annual impact of R$ 20 million on the budget of the Bahia Court.

      The amount was announced by the judge himself at the plenary session on Wednesday (8). "Let's see how to resolve this. I just repeat what I said in the Legislative Assembly of Bahia: the judges of Bahia will never be treated differently from the judges of other states."
