Vol. 11 No. 1 (2022)

The first few months of 2022 make it clear how some of the major theoretical and practical problems of recent years remain unsolved. In this first issue of the year, ||civilistica.com is once again dedicated to some of these problems. Faced with the pandemic scenario that persists against all expectations, we bring to the public the full version of the book "Direito e Vaccination", for free access, as well as specific articles that reflect on the effects of the pandemic on contractual law and on the treatment of personal data. The new types of legal relationships provided by technological advances are addressed in studies on sharing economy and consumer protection on marketplace platforms. The dispute for space between different ideological strands in matters of civil liability is reflected in studies on the economic analysis of the right to damages, in diverse legal theories of causality and the hierarchy of needs. And the dilemmas surrounding family relationships in recent years gain new contours in works on domestic violence, the unilaterality of divorce, the legal implications of self-insemination, the change in the property regime and the legal limits to inheritance law. We also bring, in this issue, translations of texts by René David and Francesco Patti, on the ever-present themes of the autonomy of Latin American legal systems and the limits and possibilities of general clauses. May this year allow us to move forward effectively in all these relevant debates. We wish you all a good read!
