CONTRACTS IN BRAZIL: GUARANTEES AND LEGAL CONSEQUENCES

Abstract

Living in society requires the celebration of combinations between people. Therefore, it is part of everyday life in society to make pacts between individuals and companies, both in search of purchasing products and also in favor of providing services. In this context, the conclusion of legal transactions is fundamental for establishing the rights and duties that each party has in a contract. In Brazil, the Civil Code is responsible for regulating contracts, and there are also specific provisions in the Consumer Protection Code and the Consolidation of Labor Laws, whether the subject of the contract refers to consumption or work, respectively. Admitted in various forms, in order to be enforceable, the contract must meet the validity requirements established by law. Once carried out properly, the contract generates a series of obligations for the parties, which result in legal consequences in case of non-compliance. In view of the above, the general objective is to present the regulation of contract law in Brazil, highlighting the rights and duties of the parties arising from the contract concluded, through bibliographical research, classified as exploratory, with qualitative analysis of the materials collected throughout the legal study.
