Giustizia consensuale No 1/2024: Abstracts

The first issue of 2024 of Giustizia consensuale (published by Editoriale Scientifica) has just been released, and it features:

Paolo Comoglio (Associate Professor at the University of Genoa), Giustizia forzata. Lo strano caso dell’offer to settle in Cassazione nel nuovo art. 380 bis c.p.c. (Forced Justice. The Strange Case of the Offer to Settle before the Court of Cassation pursuant to the New Article 380-bis of the Italian Code of Civil Procedure; in Italian).
