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

Moreover - if requested by the student - the teacher will provide further useful material, to better understand or deepen the topics of the course.

Teaching methods

Prof. De Pamphilis (Module 1)

The course is developed through classroom lectures, supported using slides, multimedia content, and teaching materials. Active participation of attending students is encouraged, also through a casuistic approach aimed at analysing practical problems emerging in case law.

At the end of the lesson period, students can take the final exam, through an interview. Attending students can also agree with the professor to carry out extracurricular activities, such as essays and research on topics or cases, which will be considered for the purposes of the final evaluation.
