Abstract Constitutional wrongdoing in civil law countries has always been a dogmatic conundrum, stemming from the French revolutionary model of State and its idea of sovereignity. Common law countries have followed a different path, leading to admit State liability for infringment of (national and statal) Constitutional rights. But in the past ten years, European Union countries have been experiencing an upheaval in this field, starting with the Francovich decision of the European Court of Justice on tort liability of the Member State not implementing EC directives (1991) which, coupled with the decision of the Italian Corte di Cassazione on tort liability of the State (1999) can lead to a new legal framework for constitutional wrongdoing. |
