The relative mutability, virus that attacks the body of the criminal clause. Does the mutability of the criminal clause cause its denaturation?
Abstract
Article 1346 of the Civil Code gives the judge the possibility to reduce the sentence. Isn’t this a virus that attacks the body of the penal clause? In other words, what would be the point of agreeing on a penalty if, once the breach is noticed, the parties are involved in a cumbersome process in which they would have to show that the damages derived from the breach are indeed greater or less than the amount of the penal clause?
