Análise do Código de Defesa do Consumidor à luz do direito econômico

Abstract

This paper analyzes the Consumer Defense Code in light of Economic Law, with the aim of investigating the relationship between both and highlighting their importance for the maintenance of the Economic Order. Based on the analysis carried out, it is observed that consumers still face difficulties in fully enjoying the rights guaranteed to them by law. However, it is indisputable that, over time, there have been several achievements in the social and economic spheres. Although the Federal Constitution of 1988 establishes equality of all before the law, it is clear that this premise does not always translate into reality. However, it is undeniable that the CDC and Economic Law play essential roles in promoting greater harmony, protection and security in consumer relations among economic agents, contributing to the stability of the Economic Order. Consumer protection is a highly relevant topic, which requires special attention to ensure that more people can know and enjoy the benefits it offers. The methodology adopted for the development of the study was bibliographic research, with a qualitative analysis of the data. It is therefore concluded that for the CDC to be truly effective in protecting consumers in the face of the dynamics of the globalized market and technological advances, it is essential that it be updated, with the aim of improving the regulation of the digital market, and that although there are laws that protect consumers, their scope is still limited, since society needs to be able to demand its rights. For this to happen, it is essential that people have knowledge about the CDC, improving their performance in the context in which they are inserted.
