Programme

The course of Institutions of Private Law II is aimed at allowing students the critical deepening of some typical institutions of private law understood as that complex of rules that govern the intersubjective relationships between the individual members in their patrimonial sphere but also personal and family. Particular attention will be paid to the right of people - physical and legal - to which the system recognizes the quality of subjects of law, that is, holders of active and passive legal situations. Family law will also be studied in depth, consisting of a set of legal rules that concern not only the traditional family based on the marriage of a heterosexual couple, but also civil unions between persons of the same sex and de facto cohabitation, recently debated reforms. The law of succession will also be addressed, whose provisions are aimed at regulating the personal and patrimonial relations of the individual after death, and the subject of real rights, that is rights over things, with particular reference to the ways of purchasing and of transfer of the right of ownership between the living, as well as the real rights of enjoyment, possession and usucation. A special look will also be given to some special contracts (sale, lease, lease, sale and lease back, factoring, franchising, contract, mandate, deposit, loan, mortgage, transaction, consumer contracts) and finally to the delicate issue of civil liability, the complex of illicit facts to which a compensation obligation arises for those who have caused unfair damage.
