Jurisdiction and applicable law in cases of damage from space in Europe—The advent of the most suitable choice—Rome II
2010

Few space-faring nations have introduced national space statutes that include a flow down of their international obligations.

La conformità dei prodotti agli standard tecnici tra tutela del consumatore e limiti alla responsabilità del fabbricante
2022
La crescente rilevanza assunta dalla normazione tecnica nell’ambito della disciplina della sicurezza dei prodotti si riflette su plurimi profili che investono sia la responsabilità del fabbricante per i danni cagionati da un prodotto non conforme, e quindi difettoso, sia la più complessa questione concernente la responsabilità per i danni derivanti dall’utilizzo di un prodotto conforme agli standard legislativi, ma nondimeno pericoloso.
