Abusive Clauses – New Rules And A Control Commission

The Commission is an independent administrative body of an advisory nature. It will work closely with the members of the Government responsible for justice and consumer protection and will be operational 90 days after the entry into force of the Decree-Law. The Commission will have residual powers, mainly in areas of activity not covered by legislation providing for such control. This will enable it to reduce disparities between sectors and increase consumer protection in the face of the proliferation of contracts containing general contractual clauses.
