The paper analyzes the doctrinal debate on judgment no. 110 issued by the Italian Constitutional Court in 2023. After providing a general overview of the subject, the author focuses on the three main aspects of the judgment, identified as such by the specialized literature.
Over the years, information requirements have taken on an increasingly important role in the process of establishing contractual obligations. This stems from their strategic position: information is, in fact, the mandatory (and necessary) link between a “contact” and any subsequent “contract.” Consumer protection legislation already pays particular attention to the…
In a cashless society, social inclusion goes hand in hand with financial inclusion. For this reason, in recent years, bank accounts, as basic contracts, have become an essential support for migrants in accessing fundamental rights such as housing and employment.
