The Bank of Italy has published two editions of its Pandectae digest covering Banking Union case law from July 2024 through June 2025. The papers review judgments from European Union courts and Italian apex courts, as well as decisions by EU administrative review bodies, spanning supervision, resolution, resolution funding and the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities. The January-June 2025 edition finds that EU litigation remained concentrated on Single Resolution Fund contributions, particularly the Single Resolution Board’s reasoning, treatment of confidential data and risk adjustment methodology. Key outcomes included the annulment of a contribution decision that failed to reflect a bank’s significant structural change, rulings on access to courts for institutions and shareholders in resolution cases, and confirmation of the European Central Bank’s authority to withdraw a banking license for serious anti-money laundering and counterterrorist financing breaches established by a national authority. The Italian cases address temporary administration and Bank of Italy sanctions, including governance and control responsibilities, procedural rights and the allocation of supervisory powers between the Bank of Italy and the Italian Companies and Exchange Commission.
