The CADE Tribunal convicted the federal council of physiotherapists and occupational therapists because, through resolutions, rulings and annually updated reference tables, it had set binding minimum prices for the services of members of the profession and thereby encouraged uniform market conduct. In addition to a fine of 3,103,583.65 BRL, COFFITO must refrain from binding price tables, remove all references to them from its websites (penalty of 5,000.00 BRL per day) and publish the decision on its website and social media; proceedings against the regional council for the 15th region are suspended owing to a settlement. The amount and the facts have not been confirmed against the primary source.
