ABSTRACT

The paper, as in previous years, offers a thoughtfully put-together collection of the Supreme Court’s rulings on family and children’s law, as well as the protection of people with special assistance needs. Particular attention is paid, specifically, to those decisions that have dealt with questions of principle of particular importance, such as the nature of the «communio de residuo», the juridical status of the minor born abroad through surrogacy and the repeatability of the unlawfully received child support.

The study is divided between substantive and procedural law, and the maxims are enriched by complete reference indications, together with the places where decisions are published
