On the Concurrency between a Question of EU Law and a Question of Constitutionality the Italian Constitutional Court Changes Its Mind Again. What Role Remains for the National Judge?
Sulla questione della “doppia pregiudizialità” la Corte costituzionale cambia nuovamente idea. Quale ruolo residua per il giudice nazionale?
Sur la question de la concurrence entre la question communautaire et la questione du constitutionalité la Court constitutionelle change à nouveau d’avis. Quel rôle rest-t-il pour le juge national ?
The article analyzes the evolution of the Italian Constitutional Court’s case-law from ruling No. 269/2017 to the most recent judgment No. 181/2024. The assumption underlying this contribution is that the tendency towards recentralization of the Constitutional Court does not fully take into account the need for ordinary courts, in their full discretion, to apply EU law in accordance with the instruments of the supranational legal system, such as disapplication, preliminary references procedure, and, significantly, consistent interpretation.
