Bases romanísticas de la responsabilidad objetiva en los supuestos de daños personales en los contratos de transporte

Abstract

In the Roman Law there existed a series of legal measures in favour of the members of the public who entrusted their goods to certain professionals. One of these measures is the receptum nautarum. More exactly, the strict liability which derives from the mentioned receptum, as well as other legal measures coming from the roman texts, is reelaborated by the legal tradition in accordance with the social changes. These points justify the study of this kind of liability starting from the Roman times, its influence in the legal mediaeval texts and, finally, the application of the objective criterion of liability in certain fields of the actual legislation.
