Abstract
The aim of this work is to present an overview of collective protection in Brazilian law, along with its basic procedural rules and polemical issues. First of all, it should be acknowledged that this is still a somewhat new theme, insofar as the first Brazilian law to systematize it dates from 1985 (Federal Law No. 7,347, of July 24, 1985 - disciplines the public civil lawsuit for damages caused to the environment, the consumer and goods and rights of artistic, aesthetic, historical, touristic or natural value, and takes other measures), whereas in other legal systems, such as the English or American, the issue has been regulated now for a long time.
