Una nuova frontiera nell'applicazione dei rimedi: l'actio quanti minoris, l'art. 1497 c.c. e la teoria chiovendiana dell'azione

This article examines the decision of the italian Court of Cassation (second civil section, no. 4245/2024), which extended the applicability of the actio quanti minoris to cases of lack of promised or essential qualities under article 1497 of the italian civil code. Anchored in Chiovenda’s theory on the atypical nature of judicial actions, the decision reflects a modern remedial perspective, emphasizing flexibility in the protection of subjective rights. The analysis highlights both the doctrinal roots and the implications of the decision, underlining its alignment with constitutional principles and contemporary trends in legal interpretation.
