Da natureza do dano reputacional das sociedades comerciais

Abstract

Compensation for non-pecuniary damage and, in particular, the opportunity to extend it to the universe of legal persons, including commercial companies, has led to strong and long-standing disagreements between several prominent jurists. At the same time, while national jurisprudence tends to classify the damage resulting from an offence against the good name of a commercial company as non-pecuniary damage and to recognise its active legitimacy to seek compensation for it, our prevailing doctrine reveals a somewhat more conservative view of the issue. In this sense, although it is not our ambition to provide a definitive answer to the problem at hand, we propose to reflect on the main lines of thought on the subject, in order to contribute, if only in a modest way, to its analysis.
