21810519 - RESPONSABILITA' DELLA PUBBLICA AMMINISTRAZIONE

The course aims to provide students with an updated and adequate knowledge of the complex system of responsability of Public Administration. The course deals with the topics of pre-contractual liability, illegitimate provision, liability from illegal behavior, liability of public employees in special subsectors such as the health sector, the scholastic one and the administration of justice.

Starting from the evolution of the responsability of Public Admnistration for damages and from the introduction of the concept of fault by that, the student will be able to know, through the study of cases, the most important judgments of the main Courts in the field of liability (pre-contractual, contractual and non-contractual) and to recognize the points of criticism in the activities of Public Administration, potentially prejudicial to the subjective legal position of the private party.

The main lines of case law on liability (pre-contractual, contractual and non-contractual) will be analysed.

Type of evaluation

The student, through the exposure of single arguments and of some case-law, will have to demonstrate that he recognizes the criticalities of the activity of the public administration potentially damaging the subjective legal position of individuals.
