Rule reminder

Italian legal language (linguaggio giuridico) relies heavily on nominal style: verbs are replaced by action nouns, passive constructions are favoured, and subjects are often omitted. Key legal nominalisations: 'notifica' (notification), 'cessione' (transfer/assignment), 'inadempimento' (non-performance/breach), 'risoluzione' (termination/resolution), 'surroga' (subrogation), 'costituzione' (establishment). Legal nominal chains can be long: 'la decadenza dal diritto di opposizione'.
