Art. 52 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; VII. Responsabilità per legittima difesa, stato di necessità e ragione fattasi
Art. 52 CO
Chi per legittima difesa respinge un attacco non è tenuto a risarcire il danno che cagiona all’aggressore od al suo patrimonio.
Chi mette mano alla cosa altrui per sottrarre sé od altri ad un danno o pericolo imminente, è obbligato a risarcire il danno secondo il prudente criterio del giudice.
Chi al fine di salvaguardare un suo legittimo diritto si fa ragione da sé, non è tenuto al risarcimento se per le circostanze non era possibile di ottenere in tempo debito l’intervento dell’autorità e se solo agendo direttamente poteva essere impedito che fosse tolto o reso essenzialmente difficile l’esercizio del diritto.
