Informatizzazione della pubblica amministrazione e governo della complessità: il caso della giustizia civile

The crisis of the Italian civil justice is structural. The backlog amounts to more than five million cases, so that, assuming that four thousand judges produce one decision per working day during the year, it would take no less than five years to absorb the pending litigation, assuming that, meanwhile, there is no entry of further litigation. This being the situation, reforms less than traumatic appear incapable of solving the problem, since they can, at most, impede its deterioration.
