"Tradizione romanistica" e principi generali del diritto: Il dibattito italiano tra Otto e Novecento

Il presente lavoro verte sul ruolo svolto dal diritto romano e – più in generale – dalla “tradizione romanistica” all'interno del sistema giuridico nazionale posteriore alla codificazione civile del 1865. L'attenzione è rivolta principalmente all'art. 3 delle Disposizioni preliminari del Codice del 1865 con il suo riferimento ai 'principi generali del diritto' e, dunque, all'analogia iuris. La prima parte dello studio si concentra sull'analisi di alcune voci della scienza giuridica italiana tra Otto e Novecento, nei loro diversi approcci – laddove riscontrabili – rispetto allo studio e al recupero (in chiave moderna) del diritto romano. La seconda parte è invece dedicata all'esame della prassi giudiziaria e, più specificamente, delle Corti di Cassazione. In questa fase si persegue un duplice obiettivo: da un lato, verificare se, ed eventualmente in che misura, il diritto romano possa ancora svolgere un ruolo nella (moderna) giurisprudenza di legittimità; dall'altro, valutare la concreta possibilità, prospettata da una parte della scienza giuridica, di ricorrere in Cassazione per impugnare una sentenza asseritamente contraria ai principi generali del diritto sanciti dall'art. 3 co. 2 delle Preleggi. L'analisi prende dunque le mosse dal contenuto delle singole decisioni della Cassazione, per poi passare all'esegesi dei frammenti di volta in volta richiamati; infine, si concluderà con un'operazione di sintesi volta a valutare, per ciascun caso, la coerenza (giuridica) del ragionamento analogico.

Drug Court Evaluation Documents Program's Success, Data Download, Iowa Department of Corrections, August 2009

The Division of Criminal and Juvenile Justice Planning (CJJP) recently released its study of Iowa’s six adult drug courts, all of which are administered by community corrections agencies. Making heavy use of DOC’s ICON data base, CJJP examined completion rates, recidivism and substance abuse treatment. CJJP also compared drug court results with those of a group of offenders who were screened and declined or were rejected by drug court in 2003 (referred) and a sample of offenders starting probation in 2003 (probationers). CJJP tracked the offenders for approximately three years.

Kontent i Pravo v. Masterhost Presidium of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation, Judgment of 23 December 2008, Nr. 10962/08 Translation and Comment

This Judgment by the Presidium of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation can be considered as a landmark ruling for Internet Service Provider’s (ISP) liability. The Court stipulates for the first time concise principles under which circumstances an ISP shall be exempt from liability for transmitting copyright infringing content. But due to the legislation on ISP liability in the Russian Federation it depends on the type of information which rules of liability apply to ISP. As far as a violation of intellectual property rights is claimed, the principles given now by the Supreme Arbitration Court are applicable, which basically follow the liability limitations of the so called EU E-Commerce Directive. But, furthermore, preventive measures that are provided in service provider contracts to suppress a violation through the use of services should be taken into account as well. On the other hand, as far as other information is concerned the limitations of the respective Information Law might be applicable which stipulates different liability requirements. This article gives a translation of the Supreme Arbitration Court’s decision as well as a comment on its key rulings with respect to the legal framework and on possible consequences for practice.
