<b> System of Justice, Social Role of the Contract and Indenization of Reflex Damages </b> <br> doi:10.5007/2177-7055.2011v32n63p353

Abstract

The article aims, initially, to set the typical triangular legal modeling  of the reflex damage, aiming to reduce lack of conceptual clarity that the institute presents. In a second step, the article analyzes the doctrinal and jurisprudential developments related to the provision contained in art. 948 of the Civil Code, as its factual support constitutes the so-called “classic case” because it is the only kind of reflex damage widely developed on the national scene. After establishing the parameters related to severance art. 948 of the Civil Code, the article seeks new cases of compensable reflex damage, especially the connection to the content of the principle of the social function of the contract, which makes less strong the principle of privity of contract.
