Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge | Hannover Volkswagen do Brasil (São Bernardo do Campo) | São Bernardo do Campo Verfassungsblog Verfassungsblog--2366-7044 CC BY-SA 4.0 A recent decision by a Brazilian labour court fined Volkswagen do Brasil approximately US$ 30 million to be paid into a State fund to combat slave labour. This decision was praised on Verfassungsblog by Danielle Pamplona and Hartmut Rank (“historic, consistent, and necessary”). However, I would like to put forward an alternative view, as I believe the decision has two flaws: it does not comply with Brazilian law and lacks practical utility.
