It deals with the usefulness, or its absence, of the "objective imputation criteria", a matter of high interest in civil law. Among other topics, the current scenario of civil liability, the impact it has on specific sectors and the state of the issue in other countries, such as France and Italy, will be discussed. The congress will also end with the presentation of the book by Thomson Reuters-Aranzadi New perspectives on civil liability. Critical review of objective imputation.

The conference will be attended by different professionals and professors specialized in civil law. Among them are the honorary president of the Spanish Association of Lawyers, Mariano Medina; the professor of private law at the University of Trieste, Angelo Venchiarutti; and the Magistrate of the 1st Chamber of the Supreme Court, José Luis Seoane Spiegelberg. Professors from various Spanish universities, such as the Rey Juan Carlos University, the University of La Coruña, the University of Castilla-La-Mancha, the Autonomous University of Madrid and the University of Alcalá de Henares, will also take part in the presentations, colloquiums and round tables.
