Cassation (Italy)

Cassation in Italy refers to the highest court of appeal, known as the Court of Cassation (Corte di Cassazione). It primarily ensures that Italian law is interpreted and applied consistently across lower courts. It does not re-examine facts or evidence but focuses on legal principles and procedures. If a case is appealed, the Court of Cassation can confirm, overturn, or send the case back for a new trial in lower courts. Its rulings help clarify legal standards and precedents, making it a crucial part of the Italian justice system.
