Italian term

in danno di

Italian to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) Guarantee
I would appreciate confirmation on the meaning of 'in danno di' in the following context:

"Il Garante si impegna nei confronti della [company name], nei limiti della somma garantita, al risarcimento dei danni da questa subiti in conseguenza dell'inadempimento da parte del Contraente delle obbligazioni previste nel contratto ed al pagamento delle seguenti somme:

a) le maggiori somme pagate dalla [company name] rispetto alle risultanze della liquidazione finale;
b) il rimborso delle eventuali maggiori somme pagate dalla [company name] per il completamento del lavori nel caso di risoluzione del contratto disposta IN DANNO DEL Contraente;
c) il rimborso delle eventuali somme pagate dalla [company name] per quanto dovuto dal Contraente per inadempienza e inosservanza di norme e prescrizioni dei contratti collectivi di lavoro, delle leggi e dei rogolamenti sulla tutela, protezione, assicurazione, assistenza e sicurezza fisica dei lavoratori comunque presenti in cantiere."

Am I correct in thinking that, in the given context, the meaning is: ....in the event of the contract being terminated due to the fault of the Contractor?? Is it the opposite of "in danno a"?

Many thanks

Probably Tom in/of London, he's usually quite helpful. In fact the translation of "disposta" can be tricky: literally it means something like "decreed", as in "instructions have been given", not implying at all where the process has in fact got to. Tom's suggestion is quite good, as it is fairly generic as to the proceedings, which might even be Court proceedings for all we know (the contract will detail that).

not really sure, but it may mean that the termination of the contract damages the other party somehow

or perhaps "charging the expenses onto" the other party, if the latter has to pay the abovementioned amounts
