NON-ASSET DAMAGE

The purpose of this work is to provide a series of practical and operational indications necessary to address the issue of non-pecuniary damage. This category of damage has been widespread in Italy since the 1970s, but only in recent years has there been an exasperated proliferation of cases of compensable damages that has necessitated a clarifying intervention by the United Sections (cf. Unified Sect. no. 26972/08), following which moral damage, biological damage and damage to constitutionally guaranteed interests were brought back into the sphere of compensable non-pecuniary damage. In dealing with these issues, the volume takes its cue from practical cases, based on actual cases, entering into the merits of the matter and accompanying the lawyer in the drafting of the different types of acts, paying due attention to the strict formalities typical of our process. In the choice of casuistry, emphasis is given to issues that are rather frequent but at the same time of considerable importance and, in any case, such as to permit a detailed and comprehensive examination of the topics covered. Brief comments are provided in the margin to serve as an aid to the preparation of the act, while useful normative and case law references have been included in the footnotes. In the legislative appendix, the lawyer will find complete reference to the most relevant regulatory provisions for each topic addressed.
