Ainda com relação ao CDC e aos direitos do consumidor, julgue o item que se segue. Decisão em desfavor da matriz de empresa, em razão de atos prejudiciais a consumidores, não será extensível às suas filiais que possuam CNPJ diverso e autonomia administrativa e operacional.
- C)Certo
Incorrect. The item wrongly treats different CNPJ and internal autonomy as enough to prevent extension of the decision to branches.
- E)Errado
Correct. The item is false because matrix and branches compose one legal person; branches lack separate legal personality and separate patrimony for this purpose.
Gabarito: E
A branch is an establishment of the same legal entity, not a new person with a separate patrimony. A distinct CNPJ and operational organization may matter for registration and tax administration, but they do not create autonomous legal personality. Therefore, consumer liability or judicial effects against the company can reach its branches when the same legal entity is involved.
