L'interpretazione conforme e i limiti alla discrezionalità del giudice nell'interpretazione della legge

: The essay traces the evolution of constitutional jurisprudence about consistent interpretation of Constitution up to its most recent arrivals, which are still insecure today and burdened with not removed theoretical-reconstructive aporias. An attempt is made to explain the perspective change on the basis that the consistent interpretation of the origins was aimed at innervating the new Constitution in the legal system and at entrenching the constitutional culture in the courts. Subsequently, theoretical, political and factual justifications, combined with both judicial substitution and crisis of politics, have made the judiciary emerge as a “third giant” alongside the legislative and executive and broaden the scope of application of the technique of consistent interpretation. The push for a re-centralization of constitutional justice, of which the restriction of the use of consistent interpretation embodies a manifestation, represents in turn a reaction to these phenomena and above all to the costs that are paid in terms of legal certainty.
