OAB filed a lawsuit against a website for engaging in improper advertising methods, promoting sales, and customer service issues.
The document stated that the website would act as a mediator between consumers and airlines but would actually focus on gaining customers and offering legal services under the guise of a business.
The ruling from TRF2 upheld the initial decision that found the services provided by the website “naovoei. with” to be illegal.
OAB contended that online advertising enabled the defendant to appeal to customers across various locations.
It was noted in the ruling that the website engaged in activities unique to advocacy.
- It extended beyond simply informing stakeholders about their rights or addressing questions about commercial aviation.
- It provided consumers with instructions on how to behave in situations involving their rights.
- The aim was to protect consumers’ interests by seeking compensation from airlines for any harm caused.
The compensation system used was akin to the prevailing fees, deducting 30% of the compensation directly from the company’s payment.
A significant part of the decision was emphasized.
The company’s goal, as seen on the website, was to protect consumers’ rights when dealing with airlines by recommending legal assistance.
