Questão jurídica principal
Whether the contract was a consumer contract under Art. 32(2) CPC, giving exclusive venue at the respondent's domicile.
Decisão extraída
The appellant failed to show that the seller acted in a professional or commercial capacity; the record suggested a private transaction between natural persons. Therefore no consumer contract and no special venue.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 32(2) CPC requires a contract for ordinary consumer goods or services for personal or family needs offered by the other party in the course of professional or commercial activity. Those elements were neither substantiated nor apparent on the record.
