Employing the deductive method and bibliographical and jurisprudential research, current paper underscores the relevance of class actions in contract control for the protection of consumers´ trans-individual interests. Declaratory action of contractual nullity and constitutive action of contractual revision will be underscored, coupled to the possibility of accumulation of condemnatory and comminatory pleas. It will be proved that contractual dirigisme, contemplated in Law 8078/1990 (Consumers´ Code), affects the diffusion of ethical duties for entrepreneurs, improves consumers´ legitimate desires, warrants access for clear and quality information with regard to contract obligations and safeguards the satisfaction of social interests inherent to the compliance to juridical interactions. Research shows that class actions provide contractual dirigisme required in consumers´ relationships through a model of sophisticated and efficient procedures.
