Consumer and user rights: Overview and perspectives from the local constitutions
Abstract
This article conducts a comparative study of all local (provincial) constitutions to analyze how each has recognized, and where applicable, to what extent, the rights of consumers and users. Based on this overview, the aim is to identify common aspects and trends among these legal systems and, ultimately, propose recommendations on how a constitutional clause suitable for protection could be drafted. It is concluded that this will require a general list of rights along with a mandate to the authorities, all of which will address ancillary issues such as regulations regarding judicial actions and municipal autonomy.
