- Definition(s)
- L'illecito è un fatto giuridico in quanto una norma giuridica ricollega ad esso, quale conseguenza, il sorgere di una situazione giuridica soggettiva, la responsabilità, ossia il dovere di sottostare alla sanzione prevista; si può, quindi, parlare di fatto illecito.
Negli ordinamenti attuali, di solito, affinché sorga la responsabilità è necessario che il comportamento sia volontario, sicché l'illecito viene a configurarsi più precisamente come atto giuridico (e, in particolare, mero atto); si può, quindi, parlare di atto illecito.
