Riserva di gradimento nella compravendita. Diritto romano e tradizione romanistica

Unlike other main ancillary contractual clauses typical of the Roman contract of sale (lex commissoria and in diem addictio), the pactum displicentiae was not given specific titles by the Justinian compilers. Therefore, the reconstruction of its regulation is almost entirely left to the interpretation of the limited number of legal sources that have come down to us on the subject. The interpretation offered here of these testimonies of the reflection on the approval clause that occurred during the classical Roman legal experience aims to highlight the differences in its regulation derived from the typical casuistic Roman method compared to the conceptual categories developed by the Pandectist school and consolidated in modern legal science.
