La mancanza dei presupposti di straordinaria necessità e urgenza del decreto-legge nuovamente al vaglio della Corte costituzionale

The Constitutional Court in its judgment n. 146/2024 declared the illegitimacy of a provision of a decree-law due to the absence of the requirement of ‘extraordinary necessity and urgency’ required by Article 77 of the Constitution. This essay aims at reconstructing the procedural events that led the Court to make its ruling and seeks to contextualize this intervention with respect to the issue of urgent decrees.
