Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Court of Cassation dismissed the appeal filed by the plaintiff against the lower court's judgment. The plaintiff argued that the defendant should bear full liability for damages resulting from a third party's intentional tort, while the defendant contended that the third party's fault should exempt them from responsibility. The court ruled that under Italian civil law, the defendant remains liable to the victim but retains the right of recourse against the third party who caused the damage.
