The course will begin with a series of lectures aimed at highlighting the main innovations of the Cartabia Reform, which will be followed by an introductory lecture aimed at identifying the business activity between law and process. This will be followed by a discussion of a number of specific issues relating to civil procedural law within the context of business litigation and, in particular, the following issues will be considered: the principle of the natural judge and the specialized divisions; the relationship between the ordinary judicial authority and the independent authorities; the legitimation ad causam act and the plurality of parties in business litigation; the class action; the peculiarities of the taking of evidence, of the provisional measures and of the forced enforcement proceedings in the already outlined context; the supranational profiles that characterize a multiplicity of business litigations; the ADRs and their functioning in the above context.
The issues will be addressed with an approach aimed at enriching them with new meanings using to this end both witness testimonies from the academic and professional world and a dialectical approach with students aimed at allowing them to critically examine previous case law, as well as scholars’ essays.
