Abstract

The principle of the dignity of the human person, the foundation of the Democratic Rule of Law, permeates the entire Brazilian legal system, including consumer relations. Based on this first, the present research seeks to analyze consumer legislation with a focus on the update of the Consumer Protection Code given by law 14.181/21. This update promoted public policies, through practical tools to deal with the over-indebtedness of the Brazilian population with a focus on maintaining the existential minimum. The law of over-indebtedness contributed to the promotion of the dignity of the human person by protecting the over-indebted consumer from complete ruin by guaranteeing the existential minimum, however, it is important to emphasize the need to improve the legislation regarding the existential minimum in order to adapt the economic reality of the Brazilian population.
