La Cámara en lo CAyT de la C.A.B.A. confirmó las sanciones pecuniarias por una infracción a la ley de defensa al consumidor

SÍNTESIS.- En el caso, corresponde confirmar la resolución administrativa, en cuanto impuso a dos de las empresas demandadas una sanción pecuniaria, por infracción a los artículos 12 y 17 de la Ley N° 24.240.
En efecto, en la resolución administrativa cuestionada se estableció claramente la infracción cometida por las demandadas, en los términos de los artículos mencionados de la Ley N° 24.240, por lo que lo manifestado por ellas en cuanto a que se brindó un servicio adecuado debe ser desestimado, tomando en cuenta para ello la prueba obrante en autos.
Al respecto, cabe recordar que si bien, en principio, cada parte debe probar los hechos que alega como sustento de su pretensión —art. 301 del Código Contencioso Administrativo y Tributario—, este criterio general se ve morigerado, a su vez, por la aplicación de la doctrina de las cargas probatorias dinámicas según la cual, cuando una de las partes está en mejores condiciones fácticas para producir cierta prueba vinculada a los hechos controvertidos o de la causa, ésta debe soportar el «onus probandi».
Así, cuando por la índole de la controversia o de las constancias documentales de la causa surge evidente que uno de los litigantes se encuentra en una posición dominante o privilegiada en relación con el material demostrativo —ya sea porque se encuentra en posesión del instrumento o por el rol que desempeño en el hecho litigioso—, su deber procesal de colaboración se acentúa, al punto de atribuírsele una carga probatoria más rigurosa que a su contraparte (conf. Falcón Enrique M., Código Procesal Civil y Comercial, Comentado y Anotado, T.3 artículos 346 a 605, pág. 156).
Los pleitos se deciden por las pruebas aportadas y no por las manifestaciones unilaterales de las partes y no ha habido una actividad probatoria por parte de las sumariadas (conf. Fenochietto, Carlos E., Código Procesal Civil y Comercial, Comentado y Anotado, T. 2 artículos 238 a 519 bis, Editorial Astrea, Ciudad de Buenos Aires, 1999, pág. 476).
Asentado lo expuesto precedentemente, puede observarse que las empresas denunciadas no sólo han prestado un servicio deficiente sino que no han aportado elementos probatorios suficientes que acrediten las manifestaciones vertidas.

En el caso, corresponde reconocerle legitimación al actor denunciante a los efectos de poder obtener la revisión de la resolución administrativa que le concedió una indemnización en concepto de daño directo, por infracción a la Ley N° 24.240 -Ley Nacional de Defensa del Consumidor-.
Si bien en oportunidades anteriores he sostenido que el consumidor no podía revestir la calidad de parte en este tipo de procesos, un nuevo estudio de la cuestión, a la luz de la actual redacción del artículo 40 bis de la Ley N° 24.240, a partir de la vigencia del Código Civil y Comercial de la Nación (Ley N° 26.994), me he persuadido de la necesidad de reconocerle al denunciante su legitimación a los efectos de poder obtener la revisión de la decisión administrativa referida al daño directo.
En efecto, cabe destacar que si bien el Decreto N° 17/2003 -Reglamentario de la Ley N° 757- limitaba el rol del denunciante, luego dicha norma fue derogada por el Decreto N° 714/2010, teniendo en cuenta que cuando un procedimiento se inicia en razón de una denuncia, el consumidor o usuario tiene interés en su tramitación. Así, en cuanto a la procedencia y cuantía del daño determinado a su favor, la decisión a la que se arribe tiene entidad para afectar sus intereses.
En tal orden, cabe destacar que las normas adjetivas no deben obstruir la operatividad del régimen sustancial. En efecto, en el Decreto N° 1510/1997 de procedimiento administrativo local se considera parte interesada a aquél que invoque un derecho subjetivo o un interés legítimo (art. 24), por lo que cabe concluir en que dicho extremo se configura con respecto a quien o quienes resulten acreedores de una indemnización en concepto de daño directo fijada en sede administrativa y revisable en esta instancia, en virtud del necesario control judicial suficiente de las decisiones administrativas en su faz jurisdiccional (conf. art. 40 bis, tercer párrafo, inciso c), de la Ley N° 24.240; art. 11 de la Ley N° 757; CSJN, “Fernández Arias, Elena y otros c/Poggio, José”, sentencia del 19/9/1960, Fallos:247:646).
Lo expuesto explica que se haya suprimido de la redacción del artículo 40 bis (texto según Ley N° 26.361) el enunciado que decía “El acto administrativo de la autoridad de aplicación será apelable por el proveedor…”, el cual podía inducir a restringir la legitimación para cuestionar la resolución administrativa por parte del consumidor o usuario.
En definitiva, actualmente la normativa sustancial ha disipado cualquier duda acerca de la aptitud procesal que debe reconocérsele al titular del derecho subjetivo a obtener la reparación del denominado daño directo.

  9. Zune and iPod: Optimum These examine the Zune in direction of the Contact, however soon after observing how slender and remarkably minor and gentle it is, I check out it in direction of be a as an alternative exceptional hybrid that brings together traits of either the Contact and the Nano. It can be rather vibrant and stunning OLED exhibit is a little bit more compact than the contact screen, still the participant by itself feels relatively a bit smaller sized and lighter. It weighs more than 2/3 as substantially, and is appreciably more compact within just width and top, though becoming simply a hair thicker.

  10. I think this is one of the most vital information for me. And i’m glad reading your article. But wanna remark on some general things, The website style is perfect, the articles is really nice : D. Good job, cheers

  11. The Zune concentrates upon being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a recreation machine. Probably in just the future it will do even much better inside of those areas, but for at this time it is really a Wonderful course to set up and listen in the direction of your tunes and movies, and is with out peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its world-wide-web browsing and apps. If individuals stable even further compelling, possibly it is your suitable option.

  15. This is becoming a little bit a lot more subjective, nevertheless I much choose the Zune Sector. The interface is colorful, has additional flair, and some awesome functions which include ‘Mixview’ that allow yourself abruptly see related albums, music, or other consumers similar towards what you might be listening to. Clicking upon a single of all those will middle on that product or service, and a different fixed of «neighbors» will occur into watch, making it possible for on your own towards navigate above exploring via very similar artists, tunes, or customers.

  17. Hands down, Apple’s application retailer wins by a mile. It really is a massive final decision of all styles of applications vs a fairly not happy option of a handful for Zune. Microsoft is made up of courses, especially within just the realm of game titles, nonetheless I am not sure I might need to have in the direction of wager upon the upcoming if this element is important towards on your own. The iPod is a substantially improved choice in just that scenario.

  18. If you’re still on the fence: get your favourite earphones, intellect down to a Most straightforward Obtain and ask in the direction of plug them into a Zune then an iPod and check out which one particular sounds far better towards oneself, and which interface will make by yourself smile excess. Then you are going to understand which is straight for you.

  19. Between me and my husband we’ve owned even more MP3 avid gamers more than the a long time than I can depend, which includes Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, and so forth. But, the previous few decades I have solved down to just one line of gamers. Why? Due to the fact I was joyful towards come across how well-designed and pleasurable in the direction of employ the underappreciated (and greatly mocked) Zunes are.

Clicking on 1 of those will heart on that product or service, and a different set of «neighbors» will come into check out, making it possible for oneself to navigate near exploring by comparable artists, tunes, or users.

  21. The new Zune browser is surprisingly Excellent, however not as very good as the iPod’s. It functions nicely, nonetheless isn’t as immediate as Safari, and has a clunkier interface.

  22. Apple now has Rhapsody as an application, which is a great start out, however it is at this time hampered through the incapability in direction of retail store domestically upon your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit value. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this ease for the Zune, but the Ten audio for each month will nonetheless be a massive additionally within just Zune Pass’ like.

  23. In between me and my partner we have owned additional MP3 players higher than the decades than I can rely, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, and so on.

Because I was content in the direction of find how well-designed and pleasurable to retain the services of the underappreciated (and extensively mocked) Zunes are.

  24.

If this modifications, then it will to some degree negate this usefulness for the Zune, but the Ten tunes for each thirty day period will even now be a significant additionally inside Zune Pass’ choose.
