Abstract

It is analyzed the sharing economy as a market trend increasingly present in the lives of consumers around the world, especially in Brazil, as well as the legal protection that can be given to consumers who make use of this category of services. Initially, the study establishes the contextualisation of relevant legal aspects of the consumer society. Soon after, the sharing economy phenomenon is analyzed, highlighting the different approaches to its conceptualization, through the analysis of the figure of the platforms of intermediation in commercial transactions, as well as the main challenges for the regulation of this practice. Finally, it is considered how the sharing economy can be treated based on the national legal system, since there is no specific legislation that concerns the regulation of this economic phenomenon, as well as the understanding of the courts on the issues that permeate the subject .
