Abstract

The legal discipline of injury, as set out in art. 157 of the Civil Code of 2002 does not clarify whether the pressing need, required as a subjective requirement for the configuration of this defect in the legal transaction, is motivated by pending danger to the interests of third parties. These third parties may include family members, friends, or even people with no ties to the injured party but for whose benefit the injured party saw no alternative but to enter into the unbalanced transaction. The possibility is expressly provided within the scope of the legal regime provided for coercion and the state of danger, which raises doubts about the legislator's silence regarding the intentionality of the injury. Thus, this study proposes an interpretative path to solving the issue, starting with a systematic look at the defects of the legal transaction and paying attention to the functional profile of business invalidities.
