Criminal Labour Law and Corporate Compliance

The course addresses, in a comprehensive way, the heterogeneous set of topics composing the so called Criminal labour law: i) offences against life, physical and mental health as well as safety of workers, taking into consideration both the offences provided by the Italian Criminal code and the provisions of the Italian legislation on occupational safety and health ("Testo Unico in materia di salute e sicurezza nei luoghi di lavoro"); ii) the responsibility of both employers as natural persons and legal entities (such as companies etc.) over which specific forms of administrative liability against crime are imposed; iii) further particularly topical sectorial issues, including illegal hiring and illegal brokerage, harassment in the workplace and safety of "new" jobs. Particular attention is given to the case-law, by the analysis of main cases which have contributed to the evolution of the subject or which are still at the centre of the national debate.
