Letter to the Editor in response to: “The Italian Supreme Court Joint Sections set forth the interpretative underpinnings of the “Gelli-Bianco” law: varying degrees of guilt aimed at limiting medical liability, article 2236 c.c. makes a comeback: doi: 10.7417/CT.2021.2352

The present letter is in response to the article entitled “The Italian Supreme Court Joint Sections set forth the interpretative underpinnings of the “Gelli-Bianco” law: varying degrees of guilt aimed at limiting medical liability, article 2236 c.c. makes a comeback”, which was published on the second file of 2020. Aim is to state that art. 2236 c.c., as interpreted by the Supreme Court, can allow to overcome the limitations proved by the Gelli-Bianco law related to penal liability, so as to take to an end the season of cultural change started by the Balduzzi decree in 2012.
