The Senate is evaluating a draft which should amend the Ministerial Decree n. 55, March 10th, 2014; such amendments represent the natural continuance of a previous set of amendments introduced by the M.D. n. 37 of 2018. The latter has introduced more generous rises/decreases of the fees provided by the general parameters contained in the charts: a rise has been foreseen for digital court documents redacted with means apt to ease their fruition and consultation; then it has regulated the remuneration for procedures of mediation, assisted negotiation etc. The Minister of Justice is expected to adopt such amendments after reviewing the opinion of the Italian Bar Association, dated February the 17th, 2022 (deliberation n. 535) and the opinion n. 183/2022 issued by the Regulatory Committee of the Administrative Supreme Court.
