THE FATE OF THE NATIONAL JUDICATURE IN THE LIGHT OF EUROPEAN LEGISLATION.
"THE JUDICATURE CAN BE BROKEN" TO PROTECT SUBSTANTIAL SITUATIONS OF LAW.
THE PREVALENCE OF SUBSTANCE OVER FORM.
UNITED SECTIONS OF THE CASSATION N. 9479/2023.
I urge your attention to a very important ruling of the United Sections of the Supreme Court of Cassation (n. 9479/2023), which by breaking formal patterns and in application of the general principle of "effective protection of rights" and of the "prevalence of substance over form " also allows a person to assert their rights, especially in banking matters, but not only in the event that they have failed to lodge an opposition against an executive order (in the same way as an analogical application).
In all cases in which there is an "imbalance" in the relationship between the parties, or in the relationship referred to in this case between "consumer and professional", but also certainly where this imbalance can be configured, for example, in the relationship between the State and the taxpayer , the Judge is urged to review the formalistic approaches, urging an interpretation of the process which, even in the face of a final ruling, allows the rights and interests at stake to be effectively assessed for a reasonable interpretation and for the protection of human rights, allowing to "break the res judicata" and make substantive justice prevail.
This is to build, according to what the United Sections verbatim, a "community of rights" where the "needs of protection of the person" are guaranteed for a declination also in "personalistic terms" of the consumer, such as to guarantee a level of protection that goes, beyond economic interests, to extend to health and safety in a perspective that the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union ascribes to the principle of solidarity (art. 38), "for the raising of the level and quality of life within the Union" to protect "human dignity" itself, all to bridge "that substantial gap between contracting parties" (and parts of the relationship).
This allows you to "reactivate" a cross-examination that did not exist, to guarantee the "fair trial"!
Nevergiveup!!
Nevergiveup!!!!
