Abstract

La Ley federal de Protección al Consumidor (LFPC) de 1975, que creó a la Procuraduría Federal del Consumidor (PROFECO), había considerado de manera incipiente la forma de representar a los consumidores en forma colectiva ante las autoridades judiciales, lo cierto es que en treinta años de existencia, la PRO FECO no había presentado acciones de grupo, lo empezó a hacer hasta 2007 en diversos procedimientos judiciales para que los afectados pudieran recuperar el dinero que habían perdido y fueran indemnizados conforme a la ley . Es por esta situación que la PROFECO ha visto con agrado la modificación al artículo 17 constitucional, pues a través de las acciones colectivas se evitará la presentación de numerosas demandas individuales, con la garantía de una mejor impartición de justicia.The federal Law for Consumers Protection (Ley Federal de Proteccion al Consumidor, LFPC) created in 1975 the «Procuraduria Federal del Consumidor (PROFECO)» with the main intention to represent to the consumers in a collective way in front of the Justice authorities. However during its 30 years of creation the PROFECO did not represent any group activities until year 2007 in a diverse of judicial procedures where the victims could recover their lost money and were compensated according the Law. Is for this situation that PROFECO has seen in a gently way the modification of Article No. 17 from the Mexican Constitution where the collective action took place instead individual demands to warrant a better justice for all.
