Organized by the Department of Law of the University of Teramo on Friday 24 May, at 9.00 am in the Aula Magna, a conference entitled Ten years since the United Sections on the ThyssenKrupp case will be held.
The study meeting aims to delve into the issues of intentional and negligent liability and the related doctrinal and jurisprudential “state of the art”, starting from the turning point represented by the 2014 United Sections ruling, pronounced by the Court of Cassation on the well-known and tragic fire at the ThyssenKrupp steelworks in Turin, which occurred on 6 December 2007, in which eight workers were involved and which caused the death of seven of them.
The reports by the representatives of the academy and the judiciary, including the intervention of the same author of the United Sections sentence Rocco Blaiotta, will be accompanied by the contribution offered in the morning session by the deputy minister of Justice Francesco Paolo Sisto.
The first session of work at 9.30 am – chaired by Nicola Pisani, professor of criminal law at the University of Teramo – will be dedicated to the topic of negligent liability.
Speakers: Francesco Paolo Sisto; Rocco Blaiotta, former president of the IV Criminal Section of the Court of Cassation; Carlo Piergallini, professor of criminal law at the University of Macerata; Roberto Bartoli, professor of criminal law at the University of Florence; Mauro Catenacci, professor of criminal law at Roma Tre University; Alessandro Roiati, associate of criminal law at the University of Rome Tor Vergata.
The afternoon session at 3.00 pm – chaired by Marco Pierdonati, associate of Criminal Law at the University of Teramo – will focus on willful liability.
Speakers: Stefano Preziosi, professor of criminal law at the University of Rome Tor Vergata; David Brunelli and Enrico Mezzetti, both full professors of criminal law at Roma Tre University; Irene Scordamaglia, advisor to the Supreme Court of Cassation.
This will be followed by scheduled interventions coordinated by Francesca Rocchi, researcher in criminal law at the University of Teramo.
The conclusions will be entrusted to Nico D’Ascola, professor of criminal law at the Mediterranean University of Reggio Calabria.
