Gli effetti temporali delle decisioni di incostituzionalità tra Legge fondamentale e diritto costituzionale vivente

Abstract

The contribution examines the question of the temporal modulation of the effects of the decisions of the Italian Constitutional Court in the light of the most recent judgments, highlighting the critical issues and taking into account the doctrinal contrasts. The study stresses that the novelties must be judged as a whole, as they may be preferable to other theoretically impervious and impeccable situations, but capable of determining a situation potentially even more harmful to the constitutional order.

(23.02.16)

Abstract

L’autonomia di fronte a se stessa: il caso degli statuti regionali ordinari

(14.01.16)

Abstract

Autonomy confronted with itself: the cases of ordinary regional statutes

The present article considers the constitutional standing of “second generation” statutes of ordinary regions, i.e. those progressively adopted by Italian regions after constitutional reforms of 1999 and 2001.

First of all, some procedural issues, connected to art. 123 It. Const. and its ambiguous features, are analysed, also with specific focus on the interpretation of the Italian Constitutional Court.

Then, the article examines contents determined by ordinary statutes. First, the form of government, in which regard the author remarks lack of originality in the interpretation of the relationship between regional Legislative and Executive powers. Second, the author surveys programmatic provisions of statutes, where non-productive approaches as well as potential upgrading of these normative tools can be noticed.

In conclusion, potential tools aimed at positively exploit the differences between Italian Regions are briefly taken into consideration, even beyond the – not fully satisfactory – experience with “second generation” statutes. In this regard, potential implementation of art. 116.3 It. Const. is examined (E.G/C.G.).
