Milan, 13 Oct. (LaPresse) – Ilaria Salis’s application to set aside the first-instance judgement, handed down by the Milan Labour Court, has been granted. The Labour Section of the Milan Court of Appeal has issued a ruling overturning the declaration of nullity of the service of process and the judgement, and has referred the case back to the court of first instance. The MEP from Avs had been ordered in absentia to pay compensation of 300,000 euros to two of her former assistants, Valentina Dadda and Francois Gelmetti, for dismissal without just cause. Her defence argued in court that the judgement was null and void due to a failure to serve the court documents, which had deprived Salis of the opportunity to defend herself.
