Court of Cassation (Italy)
Encyclopedia : C : CO : COU : Court of Cassation (Italy)
The Court of Cassation (Corte di Cassazione in Italian) is the main court of last resort in Italy. It has its seat in the Rome Hall of Justice.
The name of the court is sometimes translated "supreme court", but this is somewhat misleading, because the Court of Cassation does not rule on the constitutionality of laws. That function belongs to the Corte costituzionale (constitutional court).
