Corte Suprema di Cassazione

The Corte Suprema di Cassazione is Italy’s highest court of appeal for civil and criminal cases. It reviews decisions made by lower courts to ensure the correct application of law, rather than re-examining factual details. Its primary role is to provide uniform interpretation of legal principles across Italy. The court does not conduct new trials but issues rulings that clarify or rectify legal issues, guiding lower courts and maintaining consistency in Italy’s judicial system. Its decisions are final and binding, ensuring legal certainty and the proper application of the law nationwide.
