Learning outcomes

The course’s main goal is to highlight the most significant features of the conceptual models in the frame of sales contract through a diachronic analysis, which goes back to the foundations of this contract in Roman Law: the course will specifically focus on the responsibility of the seller, the guaranties connected to the sales contract (for material and juridical defects) and the remedies in favor of the buyer. The course will concentrate on the different dogmatic structures of obligatory sales and in rem sales. The field of sales contract offers the opportunity to point out the two thousand-year-old stratification of structures and theoretical solutions, which today’s approach still look at (for this reason, several court cases will be presented).

Program

Program:
- Sales as a synallagmatic contract.
- The aedilician remedies in case of material defects: actio redhibitoria und actio aestimatoria.
- Nonperformance and responsibility.
- Juridical defect.
- Comparison with the new sales models: the obligation of conformity.
- Specific problems of sales contracts.

During classes, cases of Italian and European courts, in which dogmatic and reconstructive issues clearly emerge will be analyzed.
Beside the traditional lesson, classes aim at stimulating student’s juridical reasoning through active participation, particularly stimulating the analysis and discussion of the cases that will be introduced.

ERASMUS students are kindly requested to contact the Professor at the beginning of the course, in order to agree the exam’s program, which will consist of a written paper about a specific topic.
