La sentenza della Suprema Corte, emessa in forza di ricorso proposto ex art. 363 cpc dal Procuratore Generale, conferma il diritto dell’avvocato di richiedere l’emissione di ingiunzione ante causam avente ad oggetto onorari non riscossi, corredata da parcella e da idoneo parere del Consiglio dell’Ordine degli Avvocati di appartenenza e, quindi, la piena vigenza dell’art. 636 cpc che non risulta abrogato né dalla legge 31 dicembre 2012 n. 247 e relativi Decreti Ministeriali attuativi, né dalla Legge n. 27 del 2012

The judgment of the Italian Supreme Court, held on a claim submitted by the General Prosecutor, as it is provided for by Article 363 of the Code of Civil Procedure, confirms the right of lawyers to seek an injunction before the full trial (ante causam) to order the payment of uncollected fees. The request for the provisional measure must be accompanied by a note of fees approved by the Council of the Local Bar Association. Therefore, Article 636 of the Code of Civil Procedure is still fully in force, because it has been abolished neither by Law no. 247 of 31 December 2012 and related ministerial decrees nor by Law no. 27 of 24 March 2012.
