Faced with such incidents, the company opts for the most drastic solution, namely dismissal for just cause of the worker. This measure is considered legitimate in Court, since the worker was charged with "multiple conducts attributable to three nuclei: having uttered on several occasions, and in a continuous manner, phrases of sexual content and having shown unwanted attentions towards another worker"...

On 15 September 2023, Legislative Decree no. was published in the Official Journal. 123/2023, containing "Urgent measures to combat youth hardship, educational poverty and juvenile crime, as well as for the safety of minors in the digital environment", better known as the "Caivano Decree". The provision, composed of 16 articles divided into 4 chapters, in fact follows the sad episodes of violence that occurred by some minors against two very young cousins in the now well-known municipality in the province of Naples...

In fact, the summer period is certainly one of those in which the airports reach peaks of attendance, also besieged by less frequent travellers...

Once it was said that a property "does not eat or drink", a clear concept to say that the "brick" was a security and stability for family assets, without particular management costs. There was therefore a certain satisfaction in having one's property registered as "stately", a trend that was consolidated following the entry into force of the law on fair rent - law 392/1978 ...

The Italian paralympic ski champion Sofia Righetti has sued Vivo Concerti srl, Fondazione Arena by Verona and Arena by Verona srl claiming that she was subjected to discrimination - both direct and indirect - on the occasion of the Evanenscence concert, held at the Arena by Verona in 2019. The appellant complained, in fact, that she had not been able to attend the concert of non-lyrical music as the spectators who had purchased the tickets in front of her had attended the performance standing up,..

According to the jurisprudence of legitimacy (see the four twin judgments of the United Sections of Cassation N° 12564 and subsequent ones of 2018) there did not seem to be any doubts about the question posed in the title of this article: the injured party by unlawful conduct by third parties could not accumulate the indemnity received from your own accident policy with compensation for the damage to be paid by the responsible…

All judicially sanctioned pecuniary obligations are fulfilled with a considerable delay compared to their onset and in such cases the creditor, in areas other than commercial transactions, often sees the principal sum recognized but almost nothing as interest despite a delay of several years. Interest is an ancillary service, typical of pecuniary obligations which is recognized through…

Unfortunately, having a road accident can reserve nasty surprises where the value of the car is lower than the cost of its repairs. In this case, in fact, the prevailing jurisprudence held that the compensation limit corresponded to the commercial value of the damaged vehicle, with the consequence that in the case of small dated vehicles (think of the case of the so-called "battle" vehicles used by families for citizens) even in the face of modest damage, the compensation, based on its low commercial value, would not have covered the costs for the repair...

In recent weeks, the story of high rents in large Italian cities has made headlines. The theme is undoubtedly political, but there are interesting legal implications.
The question that arises is how economic freedom (art. 42 of the Constitution) is balanced with the duty of solidarity (art. 2 of the Constitution; art. 47 of the Constitution) and what are the responsibilities of the local administrations which, due to negligence in recent decades they have not built subsidized housing, including the student residences…

The power of the example. The normal heroism of Fulvio Croce, attorney in Turin.
46 years ago, under fire from the Red Brigades, a gentleman from Turin fell: the attorney Fulvio Croce, President of the Turin Bar Association.

All condominiums are required to participate in the condominium expenses, necessary for the maintenance and conservation of the common parts and services. However, it is not uncommon for some people to refuse to contribute.

4) EuroprogettaTO: the compass for orienting oneself in the mare magnum of European funding [EP. 7]
The controversy around the practice of "surrogate motherhood" or "rented uterus" was unleashed in the media and in our homes, after the Government instructed the mayors not to accept transcripts of birth certificates of children conceived abroad through this practice. The controversy has been fueled by hyperbolic approaches, such as the accusation of Italy of leaving "millions" of children without protection, when it is well known that the issue, at least in our country, concerns a few hundred cases...
The phenomenon of the so-called baby gangs, which has its roots in urban contexts, consists in the formation of gangs of minors dedicated to crime, often led by adults, who express their frustration and aggression through systematic acts of violence and vandalism. For the most part, these are very young people capable of understanding and wanting, that is, perfectly capable of understanding the social negative value of the conduct perpetrated in this way…

Our civil code classifies animals as "things" and, consequently, they are not subject to law. Therefore, should an animal cause harm to an individual, the latter will have to address its complaints to its owner.

When an accident occurs with the presence of injured or worse dead people, it is necessary to ascertain the manner in which the event occurred so as to be able to attribute to each person involved his correct responsibilities, and this so much from a civil profile that from a criminal point of view.
