L'emergenza pandemica e i contratti pubblici: una "semplificazione" in chiaroscuro, tra misure temporanee e prospettive di riforma strutturale

The recent Law Decree knowns as “semplificazioni” is placed, in matter of public procurement, in line of continuity with its predecessor, the so called Law Decree “sbloccacantieri”. In spite of this, many queries still remain between interpreters and practisers, not only with regard to the scope of individual rules, but also with reference to the conflict between the Italian and the European law, about specific rules dictated by the 2014 directives. With regard to the judicial review, the goals of speeding up the settlement of trials are pursued either by specific alternative dispute resolutios or by temporary, but still disruptive, options in favour of compensation for damages instead of the cancellation of the procedure.
