La dialettica di principî e regole nel diritto europeo deicontratti: dal PECL al CESL, e oltre

The article aims at challenging the current definitions of the principles of law from the point of view of the European legal system. Its multi-levelled structure and its constitutional architecture, strongly based on the subsidiarity of the European Union, call for a new understanding of its principles. The authors of the article assume that the principles of European law are to be identified with the common core of the national legal orders, i.e. with the ius commune Europaeum, and with the constitutional condition of its application by the European Court of Justice. Such principles should be obtained through the critical comparison among the national laws, which should be aimed at pinpointing their points of convergence, even if implied and potential, with the only limit of their «not inconsiderable divergences» (case Höchst). Moving from such assumptions, the article deals with some interpretations of the Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR) and of the proposal of a Common European Sales Law (CESL), as well as of the Principles of European Contract Law (PECL). Finally, the need of finding the equilibrium between principles and rules of European law is discussed by the authors as a question of policy, which should be addressed by balancing the risk of failure of the legislative power (eventually caused by an overflow of the rules) with the risk of an unbearable democratic deficit (eventually caused by an overflow of the principles)

Introduction to private law

Against the backdrop of the predominant legal positivism, this book strives to depict private law as a complex social phenomenon interacting with human culture as a whole and its history. The author sketches the national jurisdictions belonging to the Western legal tradition, as well as the supranational trends that point towards a global law. In particular, the rise of a European law is accounted for not only within the framework of the Union, but also through the development of a rediscovered ius commune that has emerged from comparative studies conducted by scholars and from the dialogue among national and international courts. Traditional doctrines regarding juridical facts and rights are presented as analytical tools aimed to construct a jurisprudence that extends beyond national borders

La tutela del consumatore nella commercializzazione a distanza di cripto-attività

The article addresses the coordination of the corpus of existing (and forthcoming) EU instruments of consumer protection (particularly, in the field of distance marketing) with the proposal of a Regulation on Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCAR). After dealing with the general interaction between rules of market regulation (on financial instruments, on securities, etc.) and rules pertaining to the horizontal relations between professionals and consumers, the article delves into two main issues regarding initial offers, custody and administration, and transfers of crypto-activities: 1. The professional’s duties of disclosing and providing key information to the contracting consumer; 2. The consumer’s right of withdrawal from the contract she or he has entered into
