Course plan
The course aims to investigate the interrelationships between liability systems and insurance in order to identify a picture of the new frontiers of liability which has seen both its principles and its typical functions change. The module will consist of two parts. A first part will be devoted to exploring liability institutions in the main traditions of civil law and common law with particular attention to the role played by both voluntary and compulsory insurance, the dissemination of which has led to the emergence of a "new" liability that often goes beyond the subjective element of fault. A second part of the module will be dedicated to the analysis of cases and materials, aimed at bringing out the influence of insurance on the evolution of civil liability.
