INSIGHTS FAQ

• WHAT IS LEGGE PINTO AND WHO DOES IT APPLY TO
  • What is the Legge Pinto and who can claim compensation for unreasonable length of proceedings?
  • Law no. 89 of 24 March 2001, known as Legge Pinto, is the domestic judicial remedy that allows anyone who participated in a proceeding — civil, criminal or administrative — to obtain financial compensation from the State when the duration of the proceedings exceeded the reasonableness limits set by law. The right is protected by Art. 6 of the ECHR (European Convention on Human Rights) and applies to natural persons, legal entities, businesses and associations, regardless of the outcome of the proceedings (win or loss).
• WHAT ARE THE MAXIMUM TIME LIMITS FOR PROCEEDINGS?
  • After how many years are proceedings considered of unreasonable duration in Italy?
  • The law establishes precise thresholds beyond which the duration is considered unreasonable and the right to indemnity arises:
    • First instance: beyond 3 years
    • Second instance (Appeal): beyond 2 years
    • Court of Cassation: beyond 1 year
    • Civil enforcement proceedings: beyond 3 years
    • Insolvency proceedings (e.g. bankruptcy): beyond 6 years
  • Note: if the proceedings conclude overall within 6 years, no indemnity is due.
• HOW MUCH CAN YOU OBTAIN WITH THE PINTO APPEAL?
  • What is the compensation amount for excessive length of proceedings?
  • The judge awards the indemnity taking into account the nature and subject matter of the proceedings, the behavior of the parties and the complexity of the case. The amount generally ranges between €500 and €1,500 for each year (or fraction exceeding 6 months) of delay. This is supplemented, upon acceptance of the appeal, by reimbursement of legal costs charged to the State. Where the client can document specific patrimonial damage caused by the delay, the total amount may be significantly higher.
• HOW THE PINTO APPEAL WORKS: STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE
  • How is an appeal for unreasonable length of proceedings filed?
  • The procedure is relatively streamlined and mandatorily requires the assistance of a lawyer with a special power of attorney:
    • Mandatory preventive remedies:
      for criminal and administrative proceedings, an acceleration request must have been filed at least 6 months before the expiry of the reasonable time limit. Note: the Constitutional Court has declared this obligation unconstitutional in certain contexts — our firm verifies on a case-by-case basis.
    • Appeal to the Court of Appeal:
      the appeal must be filed with the Court of Appeal of the district where the judge of the underlying proceedings was seated, within the mandatory 6-month deadline from the date the decision became final.
    • Judge's ruling:
      the judge issues a reasoned decree within 30 days of filing the appeal, awarding the indemnity and costs charged to the Ministry of Justice or, for tax/administrative proceedings, the Ministry of Economy.
    • 2025 Update – Application during ongoing proceedings:
      Legislative Decree no. 117 of 8 August 2025 now allows filing the indemnity application while proceedings are still ongoing, as soon as reasonable time limits are exceeded, without waiting for the conclusion of the trial.
• SIAMM-PINTO DEADLINE: WHAT TO DO BY 30 OCTOBER 2026
  • What is the SIAMM-Pinto platform and why is meeting the deadline important?
  • Pending Pinto appeals must mandatorily be uploaded to the SIAMM-Pinto digital platform by 30 October 2026, failing which the right to indemnity will lapse. If you have an ongoing appeal or are considering filing one, it is essential to act promptly. Contact us immediately for a free preliminary assessment.
• EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS: WHEN TO TURN TO STRASBOURG
  • If the Pinto appeal is not accepted, can you apply to the European Court of Human Rights?
  • The Pinto appeal is the mandatory internal remedy that must be exhausted before applying to the ECHR in Strasbourg. If the domestic application is rejected or the recognized indemnity is insufficient compared to European standards, it is possible to file an application with the European Court of Human Rights under Art. 6 and Art. 13 ECHR. Our firm also evaluates this further avenue of protection.
