Course contents

Prof. De Pamphilis (Module 1)

Nowadays, no business can be started without evaluating the costs of liability, especially when the business deals with the well-being and health of the person. In fact, civil liability rules are a useful tool not only to resolve disputes between individuals, but also to share the costs of accidents, which are inevitable in every human activity. In this second year course, recalling the basic notions acquired with regard to the fundamental institutions of private law, the course – with a specific focus on civil liability rules in the European and the U.S. context – will cover in depth the issues of greatest impact on the activity of implementation and management of services for the care of health and wellness, such as:

• Data processing, privacy and the right to be forgotten
• Consumer contracts and consumer protection
• Medical malpractice and liability
• Product liability in converging legal systems
• Sport liability
• Private law in knowledge society and artificial intelligence
