The course "Corporate Responsibility and Consumers" shows the evolution of civil responsibility related to business and analyses the position of the lawmaker with respect to development risks, seeking a balance between the needs of productivity and the protection of third parties.
In particular, the links between the ex ante protection and the ex post protection will be verified and deepened, examining civil techniques to prevent and repair harms from the perspective of law and economics as well as analysing their effects in the law in action.
Thus, the course intends to give students the knowledge of different processes that lead to different answers about the problem of the role and function of liability, not only relating to time, but also to areas of influence, with a particular emphasis on civil and common law.
