Cassation Court remands condominium appeal case to lower court regarding assembly convocation and conflict of interest.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Court of Cassation declared the interlocutory appeal manifestly unfounded and remanded the case for a new public hearing. The appellant argued that a condominium owner lacked standing to challenge an assembly decision appointing their own lawyer due to a conflict of interest, citing the split of the condominium body. The Court rejected this, noting that the specific conflict of interest rules do not apply when a single owner opposes the collective management in a dispute between the condominium and that owner. Consequently, the lower court's decision to annul the assembly deliberation stands pending further examination.
