Interpretation of the legal effectiveness of the law in time and space

Stabilire l’efficacia della Legge nel tempo significa precisare il momento in cui iniziano e terminano gli effetti della legge stessa. La legge, generalmente, inizia a produrre i suoi effetti il 15° giorno successivo a quello della pubblicazione sulla Gazzetta Ufficiale per cui solo da quel momento la legge diventa obbligatoria per tutti: è questo il principio della non retroattività in base al quale ogni legge dispone solo per l’avvenire.

In general, a law remains in force until repealed [ 's repeal is the institution through which the legislature establishes the termination of his mandate effectiveness of the law retroactive ]. The repeal may be:

1) expressed : if it is expressly established by the legislature;

2) tacit : If the above provisions are incompatible with the new Law they automatically lose their effectiveness;

3) implied if the new law rule more broadly the previous law.)

The law may also be repealed by a referendum [= instrument through which the voters are consulted on specific issues directly by voting] that can be requested by at least 500,000 voters or five regional councils.
