Trata-se de edição bilíngue que reúne 15 artigos de renomados advogados da área de defesa do consumidor que tratam de temas sensíveis como o regime de responsabilidades das plataformas de marketplace, a lei do Superendividamento e as relações de consumo no mercado digital. O trabalho foi elaborado pelo Comitê de Consumo do IBRAC que identificou a necessidade de tratar de decisões e temas contemporâneos de relações de consumo. Possivelmente agravada pela pandemia, identificou-se a situação em que operadores do Direito, por meio da iniciativa privada, órgãos de defesa do consumidor ou mesmo Poder Judiciário, precisaram se reinventar para trazer à sociedade respostas disruptivas, não mais encontradas exclusivamente em nosso Código de Defesa do Consumidor. Novas tecnologias trouxeram inovação às relações de consumo. Modelos disruptivos de negócios consumeristas foram surgindo e se tornaram realidade entre nós. Plataformas de intermediação, economia de compartilhamento, proteção de dados, aprimoramento do e-commerce, foram alguns dos temas que precisaram ser aprofundados e enfrentados pelos operadores do Direito, de modo a apresentar à sociedade de consumo diretrizes para o seu efetivo funcionamento. Do ponto de vista processual, novos temas também começaram a ocupar espaço no dia a dia. A sobrecarga do Poder Judiciário justificou o estudo aprofundado de on line dispute resolutions, como forma alternativa de soluções de conflitos. Os danos coletivos, em casos de violação a direitos individuais homogêneos, também passaram por reflexões perante o Superior Tribunal de Justiça. Assim, com o objetivo principal de agregar tecnicamente aos principais e atuais temas que circundam as relações de consumo em nosso país, nosso grupo entrega mais esse trabalho coletivo que, acima de qualquer coisa, é motivo de orgulho e satisfação.

This book focuses on recent developments in consumer law, specifically addressing mandatory disclosures and the topical problem of information overload. It provides a comparative analysis based on national reports from countries with common law and civil law traditions in Asia, America and Europe, and presents the reports in the form of chapters that have been drafted on the basis of a questionnaire, and which use the same structure as the questionnaire to allow them to be easily compared. The book starts with an analysis of the basic assumptions underlying the current consumer protection models and examines whether and how consumer models adapt to the new market conditions. The second part addresses the information obligations themselves, first highlighting the differences in the reported countries before narrowing the analysis down to countries with a general pre-contractual information duty, particularly the transparency requirements that often come with such a duty. The next part examines recent developments in the law on food labelling, commercial practices and unfair contract terms in order to identify whether similar traits can be found in European and non-European jurisdictions. The fourth part of the book focuses on specific information obligations in the financial services and e-commerce sectors, discussing the fact that legislators are experimenting with different forms of summary disclosures in these sectors. The final part provides a critical appraisal of the recent developments in consumer information obligations, addressing the question of whether the multiple criticisms from behavioural sciences necessitate abandonment or refinement of current consumer information models in favour of new, more adequate forms of consumer protection, and providing suggestions.

This book reflects the research output of the Committee on the International Protection of Consumers of the International Law Association (ILA). The Committee was created in 2008, with a mandate to study the role of public and private law to protect consumers, review UN Guidelines, and to model laws, international treaties and national legislations concerning protection and consumer redress. It has been accepted to act as an observer not only when the UNCTAD was updating its guidelines, but also at the Hague Conference on Private International Law. The book includes the contributions of various Committee members in the past few years and is a result of the cooperation between the Committee members and experts from Australia, Brazil, Canada and China. It is divided into three parts: the first part addresses trends and challenges in international protection of consumers, while the second part focuses on financial crises and consumer protection and the third part examines national and regional consumer law issues.

Em um mundo em constante evolução tecnológica, as implicações da Inteligência Artificial (IA) nas relações de consumo se tornam um foco de crescente interesse e importante debate. Este livro, idealizado pelo IBRAC – Instituto Brasileiro de Estudos de Concorrência, Consumo e Comércio Internacional, reúne uma série de ensaios e análises que abordam os desafios e oportunidades desta intersecção entre a IA e o Direito do Consumidor. Desde os conceitos iniciais e o estágio atual de utilização da IA no Brasil e no mundo, passando pela regulamentação tanto no cenário nacional quanto internacional, o livro explora amplamente as oportunidades e riscos desse universo, como a responsabilidade civil ligada aos sistemas de IA, a aplicação das regras já em vigência do Código de Defesa do Consumidor nesse contexto, as questões de governança e até mesmo como a IA pode auxiliar na definição e implementação de políticas públicas relacionadas ao direito do consumidor.

"(...) Cada vez mais os consumidores se preocupam em adquirir produtos e serviços éticos, ou seja, que foram produzidos, anunciados e comercializados a partir dos princípios expostos no Pacto Global. Os produtos e serviços, na nova percepção dos consumidores, levam junto o contexto da sua linha de produção e comercialização. O livro, agora apresentado, enfrenta estes diversos problemas complexos, com análises fundamentadas e, muitas vezes, com sugestões para aprimoramento do próprio sistema. É a ciência cumprindo seu papel de trazer reflexões no intuito de melhorar as relações humanas. São 17 artigos que dão um destaque ao ESG no contexto do Direito das Relações de Consumo. Por óbvio, pela própria formação dos diversos autores – componentes do Comitê de Relações de Consumo do IBRAC (Instituto Brasileiro de Estudos de Concorrência, Consumo e Comércio Internacional) – os artigos enfrentam o universo das responsabilidades empresariais no contexto de uma sociedade de consumo.

The Law of MERCOSUR presents both an overview and in-depth analysis of one of the world's most important and increasingly influential economic organisations. The book comprises both a series of first-hand analyses of MERCOSUR by experts from countries in the MERCOSUR bloc, and also discussions from other parts of the world looking at MERCOSUR as global actor of ever-increasing importance. The book is divided into three main parts: the first analyses the key institutional legal aspects of MERCOSUR, looking at its history, the general theory of economic integration, and basic aspects relating to the functioning of MERCOSUR; the second examines specialised topics, including the regulation of the environment, human rights and the energy market in MERCOSUR; and in the third part the editors offer a translation of core MERCOSUR instruments, with the objective of furthering understanding of the economic bloc. Original in its conception, the book aims to fill a major gap in the English-language literature by offering a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the Law of MERCOSUR, and it is hoped that it will become essential reading for those practitioners and academics who are interested not only in MERCOSUR, but in economic integration generally, in international trade, and in the regional aspects of the phenomenon of globalisation.

This book demonstrates that marketing scholarship has much to contribute to our understanding of consumer vulnerability and potential solutions. It brings to the fore ways in which so‐called vulnerable consumers navigate various marketplace and service interactions and develop specific consumer skills in order to empower themselves in such exchanges. It does so by exploring how consumer vulnerability is experienced across a range of different contexts such as poverty and disability, and the potential impact of vulnerability from childhood to old age. Other chapters extend focus from the consumer to the organisational perspective or consider more macro issues such as socio-spatial disadvantages. The fundamental aim of many of the contributors is to produce work that can benefit individual and societal well-being. They draw on various methodological approaches that generate both marketing management and policy-focused implications. A series of commentaries are also included to stimulate critical reflection and new insights into consumer vulnerability. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Marketing Management.

This book examines the convergences, divergences and reciprocal lessons that the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) share with one another in developing the principles of private international law. The chapters provide a thematic understanding of the cornerstones of private international law in each of the BRICS countries: namely, (1) the procedure to initiate claims in civil and commercial matters, (2) the law that would govern such matters in litigation and arbitration, as well as (3) the mechanism to recognise and enforce foreign judgments and arbitral awards. Written by leading private international law scholars and practitioners, the chapters draw on domestic legislation and its interpretation through cases decided by the courts in each of these emerging economies, and explicitly cover the rules applicable in contractual and non-contractual concerns and issues of choice of court agreements. Issues around marriage, divorce, matrimonial property, succession and surrogacy are also addressed, considering the implication of such aspects through the increased movement of persons. The book is a useful comparative resource for the governments of the BRICS countries, legislators, traders, academics, researchers and students looking for an in-depth discussion of the reciprocal lessons that these countries may have to offer one another on these issues.
