Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the 1988 Lugano Convention or the 2007 Lugano Convention governed the recognition procedure
Decisione estratta
The 1988 Lugano Convention applied; the transitional rule excluded the 2007 Convention because the Italian judgment predated its Swiss entry into force.
Motivazione estratta
Art. 63 para. 1 CL made the older Convention applicable, and the exception in Art. 63 para. 2(a) CLug was not met.
