A chi spetta l’onere di motivare i presupposti del decreto-legge? Riflessioni sulla sent. n. 8 del 2022 della Corte costituzionale

The case note analyzes the recent decision n. 8/2022 of the Italian Constitutional Court concerning a law-decree that modified the crime of abuse of office. The Court itself investigates the existence of the conditions of necessity and urgency to declare the questions of constitutionality unfounded. The Author argues that demanding the government to justify law- decree’s conditions would be a better way, or maybe the only way, to detect futures cases of violation of art. 77 of the Constitution
