Supreme Court of Cassation

Points of law

Working activities not immediately related to decisional, directive or responsible offices of a foreign embassy, are submitted to Italian jurisdiction.

Summary of the case

The Italian jurisdiction applies to the cases filed by employees of a foreign Embassy performing auxiliary functions when the decision concerns only financial aspects of the working relation and is therefore liable to interfere with the functions themselves.

The Italian judge jurisdiction applies to disputes concerning the collective wage agreement of Embassies or Consulates.
