Court of Appeal - Criminal Section VI - Order of 13 November 2013 n. 25538

On limitation of compensation for damage caused by vehicles, the application of the second part of the third paragraph of Art. 2947 c.c., namely the limitation of five years, and not the longer one provided for in cases where the conduct constitutes an offense, requires that it should not be of any criminal sentence but only to judgments that do not declare the extinction of the offense for prescription andat is, judgments of conviction or acquittal for reasons other than the above-mentioned species. This was established by the Supreme Court in its judgment 25538/2013.
