Liberdade de iniciativa empresarial. Fixação de preços e mercado de consumo: limites da legislação brasileira à precificação abusiva em cenários de adversidade

Abstract

The present research aimed to answer how the Brazilian legislation behaves in the face of the increase in the value of products in adversarial scenarios. For that, in the foreground it was necessary to carry out an analysis about Free enterprise and Brazilian business law. Subsequently, with a view to gaining a greater connection with the legal business in the field of consumption, a study of Consumer Law, its principles and developments in contemporary society was carried out. In a third moment, the possibility of occurrence of price increases of products that were lacking in the market due to events such as natural disasters or striking movements was discussed. Finally, it was concluded that such a practice, in legal terms, is considered an unlawful act by the Civil Code, abusive practice by the Consumer Protection Code, as well as crime against the popular economy and economic order
