The institutional Course of Diritto privato (Private Law), divided into two modules of 9 CFU each, represents the first and sometimes decisive encounter with the study of law.
Private Law is not only the largest area in the universe of legal disciplines but constitutes the basic conceptual framework of any discourse that has legal norms as its object, so that its study and its learning represent a fundamental and unrepeatable moment in the training of anyone who studies Law.
With this awareness, the Course addresses the major themes of Italian Private Law through the examination of its institutions, moving from the legal provisions which regulate them, retracing their continuous evolution and arranging them within an order as rational and coherent as possible.
The Course, in its two modules, covers the entire Private Law discipline: from Individual and Organizations to Successions; Property, Obligations; Contract and Contracts; Torts; Family Law and principles of Company Law.
The course aims to provide students with not only the institutional notions relating to the program, but also the ability to use these notions to construct a legal argument relating to specific cases.
Module 1. General notions. Rights, actions and subjects. Obligations and contracts in general. General introductory notions to private law as "common" law: legal rules and interpretation, private law and public law; Sources of Private Law (decodification and recodification; European Private Law); legal categories of situations and activities of private law (legal positions and legal relations; legal case and legal effect; facts, acts, individual rights, goods); subjects of private law (individuals, capacity and incapacity; associative and institutional organizations, profit and non-profit, with legal personality and unincorporated; general introduction to business and company law, rights of the personality). Theory and general rules of obligations (rights of obligation and property rights; events of obligations; breach and liability, guarantees); contract in general (notion and fundamental principles, formation, regulation and effects; remedies).
Module 2. Special Contracts, tort liability and other sources of obligations. Property law, family law, inheritance law. Types and classes of contracts (sale, lease, provision of services and works, mandate and agency, transportation, storage, surety, settlement, insurance, consumer contracts, subcontracting); civil liability and remedies for damages; other sources of obligations (administration of business of others, restitutions, unjust enrichment, unilateral promises, debt securities).
