REFUSAL IN ARTISTIC PRODUCTION FOR THE CONSUMER AND THE OBJECTION OF CONSCIENCE FOR GROUNDS OF BELIEF BY THE INDIVIDUAL ENTERPRISE

Abstract

Conscientious objection and consumer rights are equivalent in constitutional terms, both being provided for in the Constitution and considered fundamental rights. The Consumer Protection Code attributes abusive practice status to refusal to meet consumer demand. The question therefore arises: is there any possibility of a legitimate refusal by a supplier of artistic products or services to meet a consumer demand? Would the refusal be lawful or not? Could an individual entrepreneur, as a legal entity, make use of the right to conscientious objection in a consumer relationship? The aim is to answer these questions by demonstrating the existence or not of hypotheses of legitimate refusal using the hypothetical-deductive method, indicating normative and doctrinal sources.
