Among the issues raised by the transformation of private law is that of the interaction between the general figure of the obligation and the processing of personal data. Prof. Giusella Finocchiaro will address the topic on 2 December, at the Italian Civil Lawyers Associaton Annual Conference. Organized by the Italian Civil Lawyers Associaton, the University of Ferrara and its Law School, the Conference aims to ideally collect the witness left by Professor Giorgio Cian and offer answers to key questions: what are, today, the meaning and usefulness of the general figure of the obligation? What are the exact boundaries of this controversial and fundamental notion? Does it still make sense to focus the regulation of private property relations on the general discipline of the obligation?

Chaired by Giuliano Amato, the Committee has among its members also Professor Giusella Finocchiaro. The Committee will start its works on October 24th, hearing the main stakeholders of the field. Its first goal is to draft a report for the Italian Government.
