From a post-positivist view, it is understood that the consumer's rights suffer direct impact of private publicity phenomenon, it means, a constitutional reflection in the interests of individuals, because they constitute an integral part of a social whole, metaindividual rights holders.

The research method is the hypotheticaldeductive. |
