A equidade no direito administrativo italiano

Fairness in the decisions and actions of the Public Administrations is, today, a general principle of the European Union Law and of National Law and, in particular, the object of a fundamental human right. The 41st Art. of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union proclaims, for the first time, the right to good administration and defines it as every persons’ right to have his or her affairs handled impartially, fairly and within a reasonable time. The aim of this work is to specify the legal meaning of a Public Administrations’ fairness, in light of both theories and case-law enforcements.
