Abstract

This article reflects about the reception of the rules contained in the Argentinian Civil and Commercial Code about contracts and obligations – which began to rule in 2015 – from the point of view of its relations with the consumer law. This regulation has generated a high impact on private law in Argentina especially because it clearly distinguishes two main areas: contracts with consumers from contracts that do not have such quality. This new panorama forces to rethink the traditional criteria of the election of the applicable law that remained valid for decades. In this context the paper analyses the main aspects of the Argentinian new legal regime applicable to contracts and obligations that have the characteristic of being “consumer”. A dogmatic approach was selected as the methodological way.
