Italian Supreme Court dismisses appeal regarding civil liability for damages caused by a third party's tortious act.

The Court of Cassation dismissed the appeal against a lower court judgment awarding damages to the plaintiff. The plaintiff alleged that the defendant was liable for injuries sustained due to a third party's negligence, while the defendant argued that the third party's fault exclusively broke the chain of causation. The court held that the defendant remained liable as the third party's act was merely an intervening cause, not an exclusive one, thereby upholding the original award.
