Art. 53 CO

Nel giudizio circa l’esistenza o la non esistenza della colpa e la capacità o l’incapacità di discernimento il giudice non è vincolato dalle disposizioni di diritto penale, che regolano l’imputabilità, né dalla sentenza di assoluzione in sede penale.

Così pure il giudice civile non è vincolato dalla sentenza penale circa l’apprezzamento della colpa e la determinazione del danno.
