Giuseppe Bulgarini d’Elci wrote the article “Rito Fornero, giudizio in stand by” (Fornero Labour Litigation Procedure, Decision On Hold) published in the Italian business newspaper Il Sole24Ore. He analyzed an issue that has been hotly debated in labour courts as to whether at the objection phase in actions filed against dismissal, to which the protection of art. 18 of the workers’ statutes applies, the same judge should hear the proceedings when he has already dealt with the summary phase.
