Ughi e Nunziante, with Of Counsel Prof. Salvatore Orlando and Associate Flavio Rodi, obtained for Honda Italia Industriale S.p.A. the confirmation, by the Court of Appeal of L’Aquila, of the mala gestio of a former Italian director and executive vice-president, already ascertained in first instance by the Court of Companies of L’Aquila, and the recognition of moral damages, denied in first instance, in the equitable measure of €1 million.

The Court of Appeal, in confirming the finding of mala gestio, justified the sentence also for non-pecuniary damages due to the gravity of the facts, defining the incident as ‘extraordinary and, in the specific regional context, even sensational’.

Honda Italia Industriale S.p.A. operates at Atessa in the province of Chieti the largest plant in Europe for Honda brand motorbikes.
