Given the introduction of the digital home (with D.L. 90/2014, art.52), that each lawyer must communicate to the AOC of belonging, and also the start of the telematic process, some mechanisms have changed.

The Corte di Cassazione, Labor Section, with the recent sentence 17 December 2018 n.32601, established that the domiciliation ex lege at the registry of the judicial authority occurs only in the case where the lawyer, not fulfilling the obligations under art. 125 of the Italian Civil Code (referring to the relevant deeds) and 366 of the Italian Civil Code (referring to the Cassation judgment), didn’t indicate its Pec.

In essence, the Supreme Court decided that, in the event that the lawyer has communicated his Pec address to the AOC and exercises his defense outside the district of allocation, all services or communications regarding the case must be made to him address and not in the Registry of the Court.
