The creditor’s right of option in Italy

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the creditor’s right of option, in light of the doctrine and the established understanding of Italian courts. This right, which is equivalent to so-called tacit condition subsequent, is under review in Europe. It is interesting to review the work of the Italians lawyers, not only because they have addressed it in the light of the principles of private law, rejecting the exegete vision of law, but also because they adopted an eclectic approach.

Right of option; resolution; breach of contract; law remedies; Italian law
