The Court of Cassation confirmed that the expiration of a fixed-term employment contract could be extended one time only and as an exception.

The Law Decree no. 78/2010, article 30, passed with Law no. 122/2010, has modified the proceedings concerning the cashing of INPS debts – deriving from both declaratory action and contribution not paid – with the abrogation of the rolls system and the introduction of a debit note as writ of execution.

INPS, with memorandum no. 119/10, has indicated the other modality for sending the disease certificates to INPS with the employer certified mail (so called “PEC”), as provided by the Ministerial Decree 26 February 2010.

The Court of Cassation hasn’t recognized that an accident so called “in itinere” occurred (and has denied the relevant restore) to a worker who used to go to work by motorcycle and not by public means of transport.

The Supreme Court, with the order no. 17720/2010, stated that the minutes of the social security institutions’ officials are to be considered as evidence of the circumstances that the officials certify as occurred in their presence, whereas, with reference to the other circumstances indicated, the probative material is valuable and appreciable by the judge.
