Art. 44 Legge federale del 30 marzo 1911 di complemento del Codice civile svizzero (CO)
CO; Parte prima: Disposizioni generali; Titolo primo: Delle cause delle obbligazioni; Capo secondo: Delle obbligazioni derivanti da atti illeciti; A. Responsabilità in generale; IV. Motivi di riduzione
Art. 44 CO
Il giudice può ridurre od anche negare il risarcimento, se il danneggiato ha consentito nell’atto dannoso o se delle circostanze, per le quali egli è responsabile, hanno contribuito a cagionare od aggravare il danno od a peggiorare altrimenti la posizione dell’obbligato.
Il giudice può ridurre il risarcimento anche pel motivo che la prestazione dello stesso ridurrebbe al bisogno la persona responsabile, che non ha cagionato il danno intenzionalmente o con colpa grave.
