Duty of the parties to present evidence
Segundo o princípio dispositivo, cabe às partes (e não ao juiz) especificar quais provas suportam a demanda (ou a defesa). Em outras palavras: o juiz (em regra) não pode agir "ex officio" quanto às provas, devendo, comumente, aguardas a iniciativa do autor e do réu nesse sentido.

judicial discretion to admit evidence
The case law on the princípio dispositivo in Brazil goes back to Article 130 of the Code of Civil Procedure, which indicates that the decision to determine whether evidence is relevant is the judge's, either sua sponte or at a party's motion. The article does not say that the judge may order gathering of evidence and the case law says that he/she need not order it gathered.
