Abstract
About the extrinsic limits of the responsibility for a qualified social contact in determining the compensation for patrimonial damages.
The right of passengers to obtain the pecuniary compensation envisaged by the EU Reg. 2004/261/UE against a defaulting air carrier cannot concern the liability, as a qualified social contact, of a public Office that have no powers to allow the legitimate expectations of citizens and the consequent rise of protection obligations by the Public Administration. The lack of a suitable regulatory graft prevents the taking root of a responsibility as a qualified social contact.
