Italian mediation law Chipping Away at huge Backlog of Court Cases

An excerpt from an article in the winter edition of the JAMS Dispute Resolution Alert Newsletter

 “In the seven months that mandatory procedures have been in force, Italy has seen a drastic increase in the number of mediation filings, with more than 7,000 filings per month as compared with 4,000 total filings last year, and expected to reach 30,000 filings per month by 2012. As acknowledged by the European Parliament Resolution of September 13, 2011, these numbers are starting to chip away at Italy’s court backlog of 5.4 million cases and eight-year processing time.”  Giuseppe De Palo
