The Court of Cassation said that the worry of mind caused by fear of possible repercussions on health caused from having been exposed to an environment polluted by toxic substances, such as material damage must be compensated. The Court has dealt with each of 86 residents near the ' plant in Seveso which came out (about 33 years ago) a toxic cloud composed of dioxin, and their CREDITS compensation of € 5,000 each. In the third sentence of the Civil Chamber (n.11059/2009) writes explicitly that the Court is right to recognize the "non-pecuniary damage" to the "paternal feelings prompted by a concern for everyone in their state of health ". As regards the evidence, the Court, the presumption may be used "as sufficient substantial probability 'of occurrence "of the father's inner feelings and suffering due to the concern of getting sick. The company (previously involved in criminal proceedings for the crime of environmental disaster) in its application to the Supreme Court had stated, among other things, that there was no evidence that residents in the area of \u200b\u200bthe toxic cloud had been reflected in social life and relationships. Piazza Cavour rejected the application, stating that the ruling of lower courts have correctly recognized the right to 86 Seveso residents to pay damages. Judgement, the Court writes, "is entirely correct in law in stating that the non-pecuniary damage consisting of paternal mood good internal and suffering can 'be proved that the assumptions and to test for inductive inference does not postulate that the unknown fact to prove is the only possible reflex starts a known fact, it is sufficient to the substantial probability' of occurrence of one in dependence the occurrence of the other criteria of regularity 'cause ". The amount of € 5 thousand recognized the benefit of any resident is moreover, according to the court," a supervisory assessment, and even minimal moral damage "suffered.
