This work comes in response to the great controversy revolving around the applicability of the disregard doctrine to consumer relations. Legal scholars have long wrangled over this issue, some of whom advocate that the Brazilian Consumer Protection Code ended up stripping legal entities of their right to separateness of assets when it comes to consumer relations. As asset separateness and the limitation on liability of business companies are held to be two of the major pillars of the capitalist system, the relevance of this issue is unquestionable. This study thus proposes an interpretation of article 28 of the Brazilian Consumer Protection Code which conciliates these principles and the philosophical tenets of said Code, by offering a systematic and historical interpretation of such rule. To that end, this work will deal with the historical origins of the limitation on liability of legal entities, and its evolution in the US and UK legal systems. Further, this work will analyze the treatment accorded to the disregard doctrine in foreign laws, its background and the current rules applying to this doctrine under Brazilian law
