Testo unico
In Italian law , a testo unico (short: TU ) describes a collection of legal norms that regulate a specific area of law . The German translation unit text is used in official South Tyrolean documents . Until 1988, uniform texts were passed by decree of the President of the Republic , and since the promulgation of Law No. 400 of the same year by legislative decrees .
description
Such a collection of legal norms for a specific area of law replaces and arranges a specific set of laws that would have overlapped in content if they were strung together (e.g. subsequent laws that modify previous versions or laws that introduce new norms). The use of the text is simplified for the interpreter by combining it into a single text.
The standard text has a summarizing character. The designation “uniform text” already indicates this, because it combines various legal norms in one text. Its practical value lies in the fact that it bundles in a single text the entire regulation of a matter that would otherwise be scattered throughout the legal system, thus helping the user to avoid errors. It is therefore often incorrectly referred to as a code.
The force of law is not derived from the uniform text itself, but from the legal norms bundled in it. Any inaccuracies in the standard text therefore have no effect on applicable laws.
The Italian Constitutional Court ruled with judgment No. 54 of April 10, 1957 that the uniform text drawn up on the basis of delegated legislative power is a fully-fledged legal decree.
