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.

A Lei n.o 14.597/2023 revogou o Estatuto de Defesa do Torcedor, reunindo parte deste diploma legal com outros conjuntos normativos concernentes à temática. Além de dificultar a compreensão do povo dada a confluência de várias normas, eliminou importantíssimos dispositivos no que tange à proteção da incolumidade dos espectadores e do direito de se inteirar de relevantes aspectos das competições. Conflita a Lei Geral do Esporte com a Lei n.o 8.078/90, cuja essência assenta-se na prevenção de vícios, que possam causar acidentes, e na transparência. Destina-se a presente obra a contribuir para a efetiva proteção de todos aqueles que sejam destinatários finais das competiçõe...
O severo desequilíbrio econômico de aproximadamente 30 milhões de brasileiros ensejou a edição da Lei Federal n.o 14.181/2021, pois o nosso País não mais poderia continuar ignorando a necessidade de disciplinar a prevenção e o tratamento de tão sério e lastimável problema. Torna-se importante compreender, de modo crítico, o superendividamento e, neste livro, constam observações sobre o seu conceito, as suas características, espécies e causas. Os novos princípios, direitos básicos, práticas e cláusulas abusivas, inseridos no microssistema consumerista pela novel legislação, também são objeto de análise. O diferencial desta obra pode ser constatado sob quatro fundamen...
Inspired by comparative law scholar Patrick Glenn's work, an international group of legal scholars explores the state of the discipline.
By juxtaposing European and American concepts of autonomy in the law as they are applied to families, capital punishment and criminal trials, authors reveal the common values that justify all legal systems. This book sheds new light on the fundamental purpose of law by examining how European and American lawyers, judges, and citizens actually apply and should apply legal autonomy to litigation, legislation, and the law itself.
This book provides a broad understanding of whether law plays a role in influencing patterns of sustainable consumption and, if so, how. Bringing together legal scholars from the Global South and the Global North, it examines these questions in the context of national, transnational and international law, within single and plural legal systems, and across a range of sector-specific issue areas. The chapters identify how traditional legal disciplines (e.g. constitutional law, consumer law, public procurement, international public law), sector-related regulation (e.g. energy, water, waste), and legal rules in specific areas (e.g. eco-labelling and packing) engage with the concept of sustainabl...
This book presents a study on civil liability for accidents at sea, with a focus on the interests of parties that are not contractually participating in the maritime enterprise. Shipping and the maritime offshore industry are among the most international businesses in the world, and the operation of ships and facilities at sea can involve very different interests in a wide variety of relationships. Although there is an international legal framework that covers the most frequent types of cases, questions remain regarding the interplay of international and national legislation. Addressing those questions, the first part of this study analyses the rules and the limits of international regulation applicable at sea, namely regarding compensation for pollution damage. The second part focuses on the jurisdictional rules and conflict-of-law rules that may be used to deal with cases beyond the scope of international legislation, in accordance with the law of the sea.
"A sociedade da informação apresenta-se fragmentada, visto que os bens, objeto do tráfego jurídico em espaço caracterizado como desterritorializado, são virtuais, imateriais e indiscriminadamente usados para o hiperincremento mercadológico global, que tenta se justificar em bases próprias, unicamente por ordens espontâneas. O capitalismo de vigilância, observa Shoshana Zuboff, reivindica de maneira unilateral a experiência humana como matéria-prima gratuita para tradução em dados comportamentais. Muito embora alguns desses dados sejam aplicados para o aprimoramento de produtos e serviços, o restante é declarado como superávit comportamental do proprietário, alimentando avan...
