The First Section of the Regional Administrative Court of Calabria spoke on the appeal of a man to whom he had been firearms license revoked. The person has expressly requested compensation for damages for the period included between October 2005 and July 2009, precisely because of this denial. What exactly happened? The plaintiff is a war guard, but the Prefecture had decided to do not renew his license due to the lack of reliability for the attendance of contraindicated subjects.
The man then turned to the judges of the TAR, complaining of the misrepresentation of the facts and the manifest injustice. The assessments of the Prefecture have been defined hasty and superficial, therefore insufficient for the confirmation of the truth. The appeal was accepted and the Ministry of the Interior was sentenced to pay compensation for the damage suffered by this person, who had in the meantime been recruited as a sworn private guard.
The dicastery will have to pay almost 52mila euros, in addition to the legal interest that must be calculated from the date of filing of the sentence until the actual payment. The court fees and fees will have to be equally paid by the administration. The precedent is undoubtedly important and it cannot be ignored in the evaluation of similar events.
