Italian Supreme Court dismisses appeal due to failure to request accelerated decision within statutory time limits.

The Italian Supreme Court declared the civil appeal extinguished because the appellant failed to request an accelerated decision within the mandatory forty-day period. Although the appellant filed a proposal for acceleration, no formal request for the decision on the appeal was submitted during the required timeframe. Consequently, the court applied the statutory rule that such inaction constitutes a waiver, leading to the termination of the proceedings without further analysis of the merits.
