La normativa emergenziale in materia di obbligazioni e di contratti

The essay examines the main provisions on obligations and contracts introduced by the emergency legislation in order to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic and attempts to bring them back into the system. More specifically, many of the rules examined, despite their exceptional nature, only apply general provisions of the law of obligations and contracts, such as the permanent or temporary impossibility, the termination due to impossibility, the voluntary revision of the contract, etc. Of particular interest - also for the application impact - are the issues related to the management of long term contracts and the effects of the restrictive measures of economic activities and not on the regime of money obligations. Norms of markedly exceptional cuts are registered on restitution matters.
