Inadmissibility decision concerning Italy
The Court declared inadmissible the application in the case of Morelli v. Italy.
The case concerned the obligation for self-employed people who are the commercial managers of their company to register in two separate social-security schemes of the Istituto Nazionale della Previdenza Sociale.
The Court, in rejecting the case, held that the legislature’s intervention clarifying that people in the applicant’s situation had to pay into both social-security schemes had been foreseeable and justified on compelling grounds of general interest – protection of the State’s financial stability, offsetting of the unexpected effects of the Court of Cassation’s judgment of 12 February 2010, and restoration of legal certainty by the re-establishment of the settled administrative practice.
