The Italian Supreme Court implements ECLI

On 23 January the Italian Supreme Court has successfully concluded the implementation of the European Case Law Identifier. As a result more than one million published decisions of the Court have been indexed by the ECLI Search Engine and are made easily available to legal professionals around Europe, together with decisions from the Constitutional Court of Italy as well from courts in Spain, France, the Netherlands, Greece, Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Finland and the Court of Justice of the European Union and the Boards of Appeal of the European Patent Office.

Although not part of the BO-ECLI project, the BO-ECLI consortium member Institute of Legal Information Theory and Techniques  has cloesely worked with the Supreme Court to achieve this result.
