(ANSA) - Rome, September 26 - Over half, or 52% of Italians,
are dissatisfied with the civil justice system after
experiencing it directly, according to a new report out Monday
by national statistics bureau Istat.
A large percentage of those waiting for a verdict for five
years or more reported "deep dissatisfaction" (67.3%), as did
those who incurred heavy unexpected costs (70%).
As well, 1.55 million people said they gave up on suing in
civil court in fear their expenses would outrun potential awards
(30.8%), that their case would drag on for years (25.6%) and
that they wouldn't win anyway (15.5%).
The data was based on 2015 surveys.
