Corte di Cassazione (Italy)

The Corte di Cassazione is Italy’s highest court of appeal, responsible for ensuring the correct interpretation and application of law across lower courts. It reviews cases primarily to address legal questions rather than re-evaluate factual findings. Its decisions set binding legal precedents, promoting uniformity in Italian law. The court does not re-try cases but confirms whether legal procedures were correctly followed, providing final judgment in civil, criminal, and administrative matters. By doing so, it maintains legal consistency and safeguards the rule of law throughout Italy.
