In a domestic dispute concerning the enforceability of an arbitral award, in which a cross-claim for abuse of process/frivulous litigation has been filed by the defendant, the Court makes reference to Recital 32 of Regulation No 864/2007 in order to deny the admissibility of non-excessive punitive damages, which are considered inconstitutional in the Italian legal system, and which are ‘unfavourably considered’ by the European legal order.
