Learning outcomes
The course aims to provide knowledge of the legal framework of the insurance contract and the individual types of insurance. During the lessons, particular attention will be paid to the issue of safety and environmental risk in relation to insurance. The criterion used is the constant comparison between the codified normative datum and the result that appears in the law in force, in the light of case law. The teaching, therefore, will make use of case law precedents, for the understanding of which a solid basis of institutional knowledge is required. The primary objective of the course is to allow students to competently reconstruct a branch of law that was born as a special part of commercial law, regulated within the Civil Code, and now finds its place largely in the Insurance Code.
