VILLALBA CUELLAR, JUAN CARLOS. CONSUMPTION CONTRACTS IN COLOMBIAN AND COMPARED LAW. Rev.fac.cienc.econ. [online]. 2011, vol.19, n.2, pp.171-195. ISSN 0121-6805.

Economic relations among producers and consumers find in law a special treatment that should be considered by economic science academics. In modern private law, consumption contracts appear as a contractual category that deserves special attention due to the importance of protecting the weak contractor in order to seek for contractual justice. Consumption contract theory has been developed in both doctrinaire and legally compared law. However, in Colombian juridical scope the doctrinaire and legal framework has not been sufficiently developed. This article seeks to do a contribution filling this gap, consolidating some basic concepts of consumption contract theory based on compared law and some doctrinaire and legal advances at national level.

Keywords : Contracts; Consumption; Consumption relation; Consumer protection.
