Popis: The bank insolvency, hinged upon the new resolutions tools, particularly the bail-in, with its controversial right, bestowed upon an administrative authority, to covert/ write off/reduce the creditor’s rights should the bank fail, has played havoc in some EU jurisdictions, such as Italy. In this country, where the banking system has been put under intense pressure in the last five years, the application of the new rules has been sui generis, in some cases with an apparent misapplication of the new legal framework. Additionally, the existence of some constitutional values in the Belpaese, where the savings are expressly protected, may suggest that the judicial authorities, particularly the Italian Constitutional Court, may in the future decide to be more courageous in the way some fundamental legal provisions should be interpreted in their relationship with the new framework.
