Direitos do consumidor e da concorrência: uma abordagem integrada como ferramenta para o fortalecimento dos direitos da coletividade

Abstract

This work concerns the interrelation between Consumer and Competition Law, from the perspective of protection of metaindividual interests. In the face of new species of rights that emerged in post-modernity, as a result of a society marked by massification and the complexity of legal relations, the urge for a matched response from the science of law, which also could take into account the particular characteristics of diffuse and collective rights. There was a complete analysis of the legal system, which started from the constitutional sphere and the precepts that compose it, including verification of legal instruments, legal and judicial infrastructure; and the effects reflexes that timely measures taken may result in legal relations under the tutelage of broad, general terms. In conclusion, the imperative was found in a joint, multi-faceted and complex performance combining disparate bodies of law at first sight, but that overlap and coordinate the search for greater effectiveness in the protection of new interests at stake.
