Minas Gerais consumer rights court rulings

Overview

The Court of Justice of Minas Gerais (TJMG) ordered a bank to reimburse a customer from Andradas approximately R$ 98,000 following a mobile phone theft. After unauthorized third parties conducted transactions totaling nearly R$ 100,000, the bank argued the operations were valid because they used passwords or contactless technology.

Judge Leonardo de Faria Beraldo ruled that the high-value transactions were “incompatible with the customer’s usual consumption profile” and should have been flagged as suspicious. The court ordered the bank to provide the refund and pay R$ 5,000 in moral damages due to inadequate security and consumer stress.
