Cassation appeal dismissed as withdrawn due to failure to request decision within 40 days. The court declared the proceedings extinguished under Art. 380-bis c.p.c. because the appellant did not act within the statutory timeframe. Consequently, the judgment was declared extinct without further ruling on costs. The court ruled that the appeal was deemed withdrawn due to the appellant's failure to request a decision within the 40-day period mandated by Article 380-bis of the Code of Civil Procedure. Since the appellant remained silent after the proposal was communicated, the proceedings were legally extinguished. No further ruling on costs was necessary as the appellant had not engaged in any defensive activity. The case was closed with the declaration of extinction of the cassation proceedings. This outcome highlights the strict procedural requirements for maintaining a cassation appeal in Italy. The court emphasized that silence after the deadline results in the automatic loss of the right to appeal. Lawyers must ensure clients act promptly to avoid the loss of procedural rights. Failure to respond within the specified window leads to the immediate termination of the case. The decision serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to statutory time limits in civil litigation. What can I do? Is this possible?
