Court of Appeal of Venice, 5 November 2025, N. 3121

The provision of a limitation period for bringing judicial or arbitral proceedings, the commencement of which is linked to statutory provisions that have since been repealed, renders the limitation period itself inoperative, as the original statutory references cannot be automatically replaced with those of the subsequent legislation, given the difference in the regulation introduced and the impossibility of identifying with certainty the moment corresponding to that provided for by the repealed legislation.
