This article deals with the legal consequences of the contractor’s delay in delivering the building in a real estate development contract, analyzing the options legally provided to the consumer affected by the delay. The contract of acquisition of an autonomous unit in a real estate development involves, as a rule, supplier and consumer, which attracts the incidence of the protective system established by the Consumer Defense Code. By analyzing the existing regulation, the specialized academic production and courts’ precedents, the objective of this work is to show that the logic that should guide such cases of delay is the liability of the contractor in case of harms of any order inflicted upon the consumer, assuring to the latter the autonomy to remain in the contract or to withdraw from it.
