| Abstract: | The paper analyzes the impact of uneconomical acts in the functioning of the firm, in order to determine whether they always contrast with the legal principle of cost-effectiveness (in terms of balanced-budget), provoking liabilities or phenomena of unfair competition, or they are, under certain conditions, consistent with it.
The presence in legislation, in doctrinal analysis, and in judicial case law of some criteria, which link the uneconomical act to commercial enterprise and neutralize their negative effects on the budget balance, allows not to exlude, in general terms, their compatibility with a correct and market-oriented functioning of the firm. |
