The preventive seizure of a school not complying with anti-seismic rules is valid
- 22/01/2018
With Judgment no. 190 of 8th January 2018, the Court of Cassation has annulled the revocation of a preventive seizure (“sequestro preventivo”) of a school which, even if not complying with the requirements set forth in the anti-seismic legislation, had not been closed by the Mayor, then accused of omission to perform his duty.
With regard to this, the Court has deemed irrelevant that the difference from the prescribed parameters was small and that the geographical area had a low seismicity.
In a case such that at issue, the danger enabling the execution of a preventive seizure is to be considered intrinsic in the non-compliance with the criteria provided for by anti-seismic rules.
