PREREQUISITES

The specialized content of the course requires that the student has a preliminary knowledge of the notions and institutions of the general part of civil procedural law, as well as a preliminary knowledge of civil law and commercial law.



LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The course aims to provide the necessary tools for the management of civil and commercial disputes, also with transnational relevance, within public and private companies, and for-profit and non-profit organizations, as well as for the extrajudicial processing of the same disputes. In line with these objectives, the course aims to expand - with a specialized study - the knowledge of the judicial procedures for the protection of companies, institutions and consumers in the European judicial area, as well as the out-of-court resolution tools for civil and commercial disputes in national and international scope.



LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the course, the student will be able to:

- know and use the special procedural tools of protection that European Union law makes available to businesses and consumers in the context of transnational disputes (for example, the complaints in the Online Dispute Resolutions, ODR), as well as prepare and initiate legal proceedings, for which technical defense is not always required, for the recovery of cross-border credits (in relation, for example, to maintenance obligations, unclaimed or modest credits).

- manage the procedures for the alternative resolution of conflicts in civil and commercial matters, including those of international importance.



Communication skills

Through the theoretical knowledge acquired, the student will be able to use the most appropriate legal terminology to work in court and out of court, with particular reference to the transnational dispute.

Students' communication skills will also be stimulated through participation in seminars and discussions in the classroom through individual or group work, concerning the deepening of individual institutions or specific law cases.
