SULLA TECNICA DELLA «FOCALIZZAZIONE» NEL CONTESTO DELLA NOTIFICA TRANSFRONTALIERA A PERSONE GIURIDICHE

By starting with a case-law reconstruction, the work seeks to highlight applicative problems courts have experienced in determining the possibility for companies to lawfully rely on the linguistic exception to service under art. 8 of the Service of Documents Regulation.
