Just over half of Italians are happy
with the civil justice system in the country, Istat said
Wednesday.
Some 54.2% of the parties to a civil case consider themselves
very or fairly satisfied with the judicial system, the stats
agency said.
In the course of their lives, almost 6 million people have been
involved in a case in civil courts: 13.3% men and 10.7% women.
These are mainly family cases, for separations and divorces, and
labour cases.
Satisfaction prevails among women and people with lower
educational qualifications.
Only 28% of citizens know the economic costs of the process at
the time the lawsuit is filed.
Approximately 900,000 people have given up pursuing a civil case
due to excessive costs.
