IL LIMITE RISARCITORIO NEL TRASPORTO MULTIMODALE ALLA LUCE DELLA MODIFICA DELL’ART. 1696 DEL CODICE CIVILE

Despite the great importance assumed throughout the years by multimodal transport, it was not subject to regulation in the Italian legal system until the reform of article 1696 of Civil Code in 2021. Over the years, this gap has compelled the doctrine and the jurisprudence to conceive interpretative solutions in order to propose ways to overcome the concrete appli cation difficulties. The reform of article 1696 of Civil Code, which can be certainly welcomed for finally addressing the issue of the liability of the carrier in the multimodal transport, has nevertheless provided some questionable solutions, such as the limit of debt, maybe doomed to foster corrective jurisprudential pronouncements.
