Abstract
On April 12th 2012 the new Colombian Consumer
Statute entered into force (Law 1480, 2011).
Now, and during the debates on the subject held
in the National Congress, comments related to
opportunity, regulation and considerations on its
conditions to be a tool to advance or retard the
protection of consumers and the consumption´s
legal relationships, were made. This paper
gets away from those discussions to focus on
a dogmatic analysis of a specific subject: the
contract with consumers which -it is true- is not
the only origin of the consumption relationship,
but it can be said that it is its main source. For the
analysis, a “scrutiny” to the existing doctrinal, legal
and jurisprudential reflections about contracts was
performed, not only in the Colombian context but
internationally, aiming to determine its nature and
its particularities and, concerning the latter point,
analyze which particularities generate contractual
asymmetries. Finally, there is a reflection -from the
European law- of contracts, aiming to determine
what the current discussion is, concerning
the asymmetric treatment coming from other
relationships that fit within this framework.
