On 2 August 2022, the (outgoing) Government submitted to
Parliament the draft legislative decree that should implement the
reform of the civil process in accordance with the Enabling Law No.
206/2021.
As known, the Enabling Law came into force on 24 December 2021
and the next Government must implement it within the year, i.e. by
24 December 2022.
The next elections will be held on 25 September 2022 and it is
difficult to make predictions.
In any case, we wonder whether – regardless of the
political orientation – the new Government will be able to
complete the reform work and whether, therefore, among the
Christmas presents, instead of the usual book, we will unwrap a new
updated edition of the Code of Civil Procedure.
