It's not a point of arrival
The ruling of the TAR of Lombardy on mountain passes has made let the hunting world rejoiceThe administrative judges have in fact rejected the first of two appeals filed by LAC against the regional resolutions. However, the League for the Abolition of Hunting is not giving up, as can be seen from the post published yesterday: "The recent ruling no. 02175/2026 of the Lombardy Regional Administrative Court (TAR) by no means marks a point of arrival, but represents merely the latest chapter in a saga that the Region seems intent on dragging on indefinitely. As happened two years ago, the Lombardy Region is attempting to circumvent regulatory constraints to favor double-barreled fishing at the expense of migratory fauna. The game is far from over, and the "Mountain Law," hastily published in September 2025, will not be enough to undermine our efforts. We have already pursued two separate legal avenues to counter this attempt to circumvent environmental protections.".
Appeal to several hands
Furthermore, LAC can "console itself" with a sentence of a very different nature, as can be seen from another social media post: "Thanks to the appeal of the LAC, together with LNDC, LIPU, LAV and OIPA, relating to the regional hunting calendar for the Veneto for the 2025/26 season, the TAR of Venice raised, with Order no. 1037 of 5/5/2026, the question of the constitutional legitimacy of the rule that provides national hunting associations as necessary parties in the trial when challenging these administrative acts.".
What the Venetian judges decided
What exactly was decided? This is the version from the anti-hunting association: "The Regional Administrative Court (TAR) questions the constitutionality of Article 18, paragraph 4, of Law 157/92, due to its conflict with Articles 3, 24, and 111 of the Constitution, as well as with the principles of EU law regarding the effectiveness of judicial protection, which requires that any appeal against a regional hunting calendar be notified to hunting associations. The matter now passes to the Constitutional Court.".
