Something I read in the story is that the legal system fails to do its job: to make society fair. There are contracts and lawyers in the story, but they do not work toward ensuring fairness or justice, they work to help the company with more laywers and less scruples.

The legal system, in Italy, has been fundamentally bankrupt for a long time. It's one of the reasons a lot of foreign companies don't invest over there - if anything goes wrong, the legal system is unlikely to be of any help.

I know of no legal system that doesn't fail in some way. Some are much worse than others, but all have flaws. Often correcting the flaws is worse than living with them.

Don't take the above as we should just accept the flaws. We should not. However what to do about them is a hard problem and we should not do something that makes things worse.
