Abstract
El análisis del caso aborda varios aspectos. En primer lugar, se destaca la noción
del derecho a la libre contratación y su relación con el contexto del mercado. Si
bien este derecho es esencial en la economía de mercado, no es absoluto y
puede ser limitado en función de las circunstancias y la protección de otros
derechos fundamentales.
En el ámbito de los seguros, el modelo de negocio se basa en la gestión y
diversificación del riesgo. Mediante la transferencia de riesgos a través de
pólizas, las aseguradoras asumen la responsabilidad de pagar una suma de
dinero en caso de un evento asegurado. En el caso específico analizado, la Sala
de Indecopi limitó el derecho a la libre contratación de Rímac Seguros al
considerar que su negativa de brindar cobertura a una persona con síndrome de
Down fue discriminatoria e infundada. La decisión de la Sala contribuyó a
garantizar la inclusión de personas con discapacidad en los servicios de seguros.
Es así que se reconoce que el derecho a la libre contratación tiene límites y debe
ser equilibrado con otros derechos fundamentales. La decisión de la Sala fue
razonable y proporcional, ya que protegió a una minoría social y promovió la
igualdad de oportunidades.

While this right is essential in a market economy, it is not absolute and can be limited based on circumstances and the protection of other fundamental rights. In the field of insurance, the business model is based on risk management and diversification. By transferring risks through policies, insurers assume the responsibility to pay a sum of money in the event of an insured occurrence. In the specific case analyzed, the Indecopi Chamber limited Rímac Seguros' right to freedom of contract by considering their refusal to provide coverage to a person with Down syndrome as discriminatory and unfounded. The Chamber's decision contributed to ensuring the inclusion of people with disabilities in insurance services. Thus, it is recognized that the right to freedom of contract has limits and must be balanced with other fundamental rights. The Chamber's decision was reasonable and proportionate as it protected a social minority and promoted equal opportunities.
