Il Periculum per la persona del lavoratore

The worker's involvement into the employment's contract makes it difficult, among other things, to apply the not codified measures of the precautionary protection, as generally provided under the art. 700 of the civil proceedings' code. The problem affects some fundamental aspects of the employment's contract, such as, on one hand, the correct catalogue of worker's personal rights and, on the other hand, the appropriate scope of the protection of the worker's personal goods. Those latter ones are very significant, since they may affect the skills, the image, the dignity and even the psychological or physical integrity of the worker. Accordingly, the different proceedings aiming at the precautionary protection, as far as the cited interests are involved, are taken into account. The argument is astride between the substantial rights and formal proceedings, but just this feature permits the illuminating impact of the trial perspective to be appreciated. In that aspect, the evaluation of the periculum in mora (the risk during the delay) becomes a very pertinent occasion for the worker's personal rights, as far as they are involved in the employment's contract, to be put into the light. Given those circumstances, it seemed useful an attempt of verifying the real reason and actual impact of this phenomenon, in order to delimit, whilst critically examining the situations abstractly comprised into the cases of periculum in mora, the possible and correct scope of the precautionary protection within the employment's contract. In particular, the employment's situations that are mostly affected by the precautionary protection, i.e. the dismissal, the contribution, the disentitlement and the transfer, have been collected and examined..
