Anti-COVID Rules Deemed Unfair by Alessandria Judge

Alessandria: Rules enforced during the COVID pandemic were unfair and citizens have the right to receive 10 euros each as compensation for “non-patrimonial damage”, a justice of the peace in the northern city of Alessandria, Paolo Olezza, ruled on Tuesday.

According to Ansa News Agency, the case concerned 20 people who brought the premier’s office to court over anti-Covid legislation, starting with the declaration of a state of national emergency on January 31, 2020. The group claimed they had been “forced to undesired behaviour in a blackmailing manner despite unexisting benefits in containing the epidemic emergency”.
