Portuguese term or phrase: vício de iniciativa
A questão, porém, ainda não estava definida. Em…, o Poder Judiciário julgou procedente a Ação Direta de Inconstitucionalidade (ADIN) proposta pelo Ministério Público, que argumentava que a instituição do mosaico era um vício de iniciativa, já que havia sido proposta pelo Poder Legislativo e que, para tal, os estudos técnicos realizados eram insuficientes.

defective origin


Explanation:
Conforme a explicação no link abaixo, "vício de iniciativa" significa que, pela Constituição (que poderia ser Federal ou Estadual) a entidade que tomou a iniciativa de propor uma lei não era competente (não tinha autoridade) para tal. Concordo com o João que é um tipo de defeito formal, especificamente o tipo "defective origin", ou talvez "invalid iniciative".

Example sentence(s):
  • Primeiramente, é necessário esclarecer que somente se fala em vício de iniciativa quando houver previsão constitucional para iniciativa reservada de lei a determinada autoridade ou Poder.
