Statute overview

About this statute

This provision amends the Civil Code to clarify separate legal personality, allow disregarding it in cases of abuse, broaden contract-interpretation rules, and set rules for investment funds and limited liability companies. A administração pública and related entities must avoid regulatory abuse when regulating, unless they are strictly complying with an explicit legal rule. This provision lists the principles that guide the law: freedom in economic activity, good faith before public authorities, subsidiary and exceptional state intervention in economic activity, and recognition of the individual’s vulnerability before the state. A provision grants people and legal entities rights to conduct economic activity, set prices in unregulated markets, receive equal treatment from public bodies, rely on tacit approval in some licensing cases, and avoid abusive compensatory demands or unlawful certificate requirements. The provision lets recipients of the decision appeal within 20 days, without suspensive effect, and says the Minister of Economy may issue the acts needed to implement the decree-law.
