Overview

• The court used the accelerated procedure under article 380‑bis and said the remaining appeals will be extinguished unless the municipality asks to proceed within 40 days.
• Ventimiglia had challenged roughly a score of decisions from the Imperia Tribunal that upheld Giudice di Pace annulments of fines tied to non‑homologated devices.
• The Cassation reiterated its consolidated view that ministerial approval does not equal the homologation required by article 142 of the Highway Code.
• Consumer groups Globoconsumatori and Altvelox welcomed the stance, with Altvelox warning of potential criminal implications if non‑homologated equipment continues to be used or defended.
• The disputed Porra speed camera near the French border generated unusually high numbers of fines, including to French drivers, as a national census of devices continues without a finalized detailed regulation.
