(Few) Lights and (many) shadows on the new process procedure introduced by the reform of the labor market in Italy for the appeal of layoffs

Abstract

The paper analyses the procedural innovations introduced by the Law of 28th June 2012, n. 92 concerning the claim of layoffs. The author draws a descriptive overview of the new special ritual, accompanied by some critical reflections on the decision of the legislature that is at odds with the principles of simplification measures already introduced by Legislative Decree no. 150 of 2011. The view is even more complex and worrying if it is to be considered the point of view of the legal professionals, considered that the courts, having a lot of leeway on some points of the new rite, have created a real " jungle in the jurisprudence".
