House of Representatives examines proposal to reduce prejudice provider
Term start from the date of contact establishment communicating the completion of the repair or its inability - Archive - Agência O Globo
BRASILIA - The House of Representatives analyzes the creation of 60 days for withdrawal, by the owner of electronic equipment left in service for repair. By the text, the period would start from the date of contact establishment communicating the completion of the repair or its impossibility. If not removed, the service provider establishment would be authorized to sell the goods or to use it as scrap.
The measure is provided for in Bill 4668/16 by Mr Francisco Floriano (DEM-RJ). He argues it is quite common the owner of an equipment deliver it to repair and fail to remove it for various reasons, such as the inability to pay the service or the impossibility of repair.
"Both imply costs for the establishment, either in losses to the service or the space occupation of the property. We consider inadequate and unfair absorption of these costs by the service provider, which is usually a microenterprise, "says Francisco Floriano.
It does not change any existing law. Currently, the Consumer Protection Code (Law 8.078 / 90) does not provide data for the consumer to withdraw the product from service after repair. In such cases, other laws could be used by analogy.
The bill follows in conclusive character and will be examined by the defense committees of the Consumer; and Constitution and Justice and Citizenship.
