for which the latter may be liable

since we are talking of the result of "illegittima comunicazione", "liable" seems appropriate here. Have to disagree with Thomas on "latter" - it has to be clear exactly which of the two parties we are talking about. In normal English I'd say "it" too, but in a contract, I'd rather sacrifice style to avoid ambiguity

which may be incurred by it

I would avoid things like "by the latter" which isn't really used in legal English.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Mr Murray (X) : This isn't an explanation of your answer; and of course 'latter' is used in 'legal' English.

"latter" is used in English in the banal sense of "former/latter", but shouldn't be used to translate "ultimo" which would be rendered merely as "it" in English (there is no "former" in this sentence to contrast with this "latter").
agree Dominic Currie : Mr Murray is right "latter" may be used, but, in UK English, at least, the preference seems to be for "by it" as confirmed by the google search, site:.co.uk "incurred by it" "contract", which gets 9k+ hits vs only 1 hit for same search with "the latter"
