    Consumer protection in transnational relations: The contribution of the EU
    2019 - Anjos, Maria do Rosário; Mimoso, Maria João
    Up to now, it has not yet been possible to build a universal normative body under contract law, each state having its own. The plurality of existing regulations often creates legal uncertainty, undermining the legitimate expectations of the parties. To minimize these problems the Rome I Regulation on the law applicable to contractual obligations provides that the law applicable to headquarters of international contracts. It enshrines the principle of the autonomy of the will of the parties, seeking that the solution be the same in all EU Member States. That legal text also indicates, by contract categories, which law is applicable in the event of lack of choice. The EU was aware of certain categories of contracts, in particular the consumer contract, for which it chose a special scheme. Our approach will directed to the rules applicable to consumer contracts. We will highlight the need to protect the weaker party, taking into account the principle of more favorable treatment. The EU has continued to devote also to those contracts the possibility of the parties to choose the applicable law, but respecting some limits. We will review the European literature on the subject and try to interpret the law by highlighting its shortcomings, with reference to some jurisprudence of the CJEU. The Rome I Regulation on consumer contract seat establishes a minimum status, the application of the law of the consumer's habitual residence, imposing certain conditions. However, the legal system does not cover all consumers. We will try to show which consumers can invoke this law. Regulation protects only passive consumers, those for whom the trader directed its activity, does not apply to active consumers, moving to another state and then acquire products or services to a professional.

    Students in higher education as consumers of services provided by the University
    2018 - Anjos, Maria do Rosário; Miranda, Carlos; Mimoso, Maria João
    The purpose of this study is to understand the scope of applicability of the norms foreseen in the Consumer Protection Law to the relations established between the Portuguese higher education institutions, public and private, and the students who attend them. We critically analyze the fact that the jurisprudence considers the relationship of the student with a public higher education institution as a tax relation, because it is based on a synallagmatic scheme of remuneration of a public education service provided, constituting the fee the due pecuniary compensation. A review of the literature will be carried. We will use a deductive and speculative reasoning based on the positions defended by foreign doctrine, law and jurisprudence. The purpose of our reflection is not only to call attention to the precarious system that the law offers to the sub judice problem, but also to the necessary protection of those rights.

    The travel consumer
    2018-09-12 - Anjos, Maria do Rosário; Almeida, André; Castro, Patricia Daniela; Mimoso, Maria João
    Given the increase in intra-Community travel, in particular ‘package travel’, the European Union legislature felt it necessary to define a set of rules common to all States Members. In the attempt to combat the inequalities between those who hire this type of services and the companies that organise the trips. We propose to critically analyse this new legal instrument and discuss its scope of consumer protection. The European legislature intends by Directive 2015/2302 harmonise the rights and obligations arising from contracts for package travel and related travel services. It aims to create a true internal market for consumers, establishing a good balance between a high level of consumer protection and the competitiveness of enterprises. The rights of travellers will be better protected, in matters such as compensation, cancellation, assistance, among others. On the other hand, we see the standardisation of the concept of organised trips ending differences in doctrine and jurisprudence.
