The money may support infrastructure and technology, equipment, software and staff training. The package also changes federal court fees to 2–3% of a claim’s value, with a minimum of 193.20 reais and a maximum of 107,332.80 reais. People earning up to 5,000 reais a month at the time receive a presumption of inability to pay for court costs when seeking legal aid, subject to individual review. The president vetoed some provisions on fund revenues. ## Data ### Brazil creates modernisation funds for four justice institutions Laws signed on 4 September establish funds for federal justice, the Superior Court, public defence and federal prosecution.
