The Consumer Defense Code establishes a special system, although connected, in relation to civil proceedure law. So much that the CDC rules material rights and process rights on a peculiar way. The reading of the context of the code surprises a great majority of presumptive norms of standard implications, which denotes the verification or attribution the burden of proof something different from the CPC, an attribution are supposed by the legislator itself. The reverse of the burden of proof, properly so-called, only occurs in an expressly case (article 14, §4, of the CDC), in which case, ope judicis, according to art. 6, VIII, the judge must reverse the burden of proving. A system that lowers the consumer’s argumentative burden, affects the standard of evidence to ratify the sufficiency of evidence, and makes it unnecessary for traders to require, in any case, the reversal of the burden of proof. Because the legislator had already positioned the burden as required.
