Remarks on sale and purchase agreements lacking representations and warranties. Focus on the case of full equity transfer The contribution aims to analyze the effects of the transfer of all company shares when the contractual agreement lacks conventional guarantees regarding the qualities of the company’s assets and the goods that compose them. The dominant jurisprudential approach relegates the company’s assets to a mediated object of the sale and purchase agreement. Therefore, the applicability of Articles 1490 et seq. of the Civil Code is denied when there are defects in the company's assets. Through a dialogue with case law and literature that has attempted to address this gap in protection, the author seeks to demonstrate that the logic of total transfer would seem to imply the application of legal warranty rules in the event that the company’s assets are found to be defective.
Il contributo è dedicato all’analisi degli effetti della cessione totalitaria di partecipazioni sociali, nel caso in cui il regolamento pattizio non preveda garanzie convenzionali relative alle qualità del patrimonio sociale e dei beni che lo compongono. La giurisprudenza dominante relega il patrimonio sociale ad oggetto mediato del sale purchase agreement. Pertanto, si nega l’applicabilità degli artt. 1490 ss. c.c. in presenza di vizi dei beni della società. Attraverso un dialogo con la giurisprudenza e con la letteratura che ha tentato di sopperire a tale vuoto di tutela, l’autore tenta di mostrare che la logica della cessione totalitaria parrebbe implicare la disciplina della garanzia legale nel caso in cui il patrimonio sociale risulti essere viziato.

Abstract
Remarks on sale and purchase agreements lacking representations and warranties. Focus on the case of full equity transfer The contribution aims to analyze the effects of the transfer of all company shares when the contractual agreement lacks conventional guarantees regarding the qualities of the company’s assets and the goods that compose them. The dominant jurisprudential approach relegates the company’s assets to a mediated object of the sale and purchase agreement. Therefore, the applicability of Articles 1490 et seq. of the Civil Code is denied when there are defects in the company's assets. Through a dialogue with case law and literature that has attempted to address this gap in protection, the author seeks to demonstrate that the logic of total transfer would seem to imply the application of legal warranty rules in the event that the company’s assets are found to be defective.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
