amount to the abuse of a contractual entitlement


Explanation:
Abuso de direito exists when a legal entitlement or right (in this case a contractual entitlement) is used for purposes for which it is not intended, or contrary the the rules of good faith. This means that although the entitlement or right exists formally, it cannot lawfully be exercised. The concept includes both acts and omissions.
