What a well-presented appeal to the Supreme Court needs

The Cassation appeal is the most delicate document in the whole proceeding: last resort, a senior panel, a rigorous formal review even before the merits. The printing must live up to it.

Standard A4 format, clear pagination

The Supreme Court expects documents in A4 format, regular margins, progressive pagination, page numbers clearly visible at the bottom or top of the sheet. No frills, but no sloppiness either: formal appearance counts in the first five seconds after opening the file.

Neat multiple copies

The number of copies to file is decided by your Cassation lawyer based on the composition of the panel and whether other parties appear. We print the whole batch with the same care: no "second-rate" copy.

Thermal binding for consultation

Thermal is the tidiest binding for an appeal: clean spine, pages that stay in order, orderly filing at the registry. For bulky appeals (over 400 pages with attachments) we consider spiral binding or splitting into volumes.

Spine with the appellant's reference

On request we print the spine with the appellant's name, the opposing party and the case number (if already assigned). It helps locate the file among the mass of documents filed at the Supreme Court registry.

Attachments separated with divider sheets

Challenged judgment, documents from earlier instances, evidentiary material: separated with divider sheets and indexed. If your appeal cites "attachment 3, page 7", that page must actually be there, in the right order.

Absolute confidentiality of the file

For sensitive cases (criminal appeals against a person, tax appeals with financial data, civil cases involving minors) we handle the file with special care: printed in the shop on our own computers, deleted after delivery, never exposed to third parties.

Why GUUG works well for those filing at the Court of Cassation

The Court of Cassation is on Piazza Cavour. We are at Via di Porta Castello 29. That's 900 metres as the crow flies, a ten-minute walk from the corner of Via dei Gracchi.

Walk, don't drive through traffic

Traffic in central Rome between 9 AM and 1 PM is unpredictable. Walking 900 metres is always faster than hunting for a parking spot near Piazza Cavour. You print at 11, file at 12:30, and still have half an hour before the desk closes.

The filing desk closes at 1 PM

The Supreme Court registry's document-filing desk closes at 1 PM. To be sure of filing, your colleague must be there by 12:45 at the latest. Send us the PDF by 11: you have a two-hour margin for printing plus time for the walk.

Last-minute changes

If you change a figure, a case-law reference or a footnote before printing: resend the updated PDF, we stop the print in progress and start again. On an appeal drafted overnight it happens: we handle it without drama.

Invoice to the firm or to the client

The printing invoice can be made out to the firm (for costs you claim in the defence) or directly to the end client (if you prefer them to see it). We keep the billing details on file, so we don't ask for them every time.

The location that makes the difference for a Cassation lawyer

The Court of Cassation is located in Rome on Piazza Cavour, in the Palace of Justice known as the "Palazzaccio". The document-filing desk closes at 1 PM, Monday to Friday. For anyone filing an appeal in person, or even just a courtesy copy of an appeal filed electronically, the useful window is the morning.

GUUG is at Via di Porta Castello 29, in the Prati district. From our counter to the Supreme Court registry it's a ten-minute walk: you step out, pass Castel Sant'Angelo and reach the Palazzaccio from the Ponte Cavour side. No car to park, no restricted-traffic zone to deal with, no unpredictable traffic on mornings with strikes or demonstrations — events that happen regularly in central Rome.

We print Cassation appeals in every field: civil, criminal, tax, administrative, labour, family. We know the small conventions the Rome bar follows: how the binding margin is left, the convention for listing attachments, the sober cover style that suits a court of last resort. For your first appeal we suggest coming into the shop and doing the print test together: from the second time on it's all automatic.

To get a quote, send us the appeal PDF (plus attachments) to stampa@guug.it, stating the number of copies and whether you need a custom cover or a spine with the reference. We reply within 30 minutes with the cost and pickup time. If it's urgent for filing today, say so in the subject line: we prioritise it immediately.

Frequently asked questions

How many copies of the appeal must I file at the Court of Cassation?
The number of copies to file is decided by your Cassation lawyer based on the composition of the panel (a single section or the joint sections) and whether the opposing party appears. The usual practice is generally one copy for each judge on the panel plus one for the official file, but the precise requirements should be checked against the registry staff regulations and with the relevant registry. We print the number of copies you tell us, as a batch and with the same care.
How long does it take to print an 80-page appeal in 6 copies?
For an 80-page appeal in 6 copies with thermal binding and a simple cover, it takes about 30-45 minutes from the moment the PDF reaches us. If there are bulky attachments (challenged judgment, documents from earlier instances) we factor the extra time into the quote. To file by 1 PM we suggest sending the PDF by 11: you have a two-hour margin for printing and time to walk to Piazza Cavour without rushing.
Do you also print the spine with the appellant's name?
Yes. On request we print the cover spine with the appellant's name, the opposing party and the case number (if already assigned). It's useful both for the registry and for your own archive: it makes it easier to find the file among pending appeals. If you send us the complete appeal file, we take the details from the title page; alternatively, specify them in the quote email.
Can last-minute changes be made before printing?
Yes, as long as printing hasn't started. If you need to change a figure, add a case-law reference, fix a typo or update an attachment, you send us the new PDF and we start again from the corrected version. For files already partly printed, we assess case by case how much we can salvage and how much must be reprinted. We do recommend sending the final file: every change on the fly slows things down.
Do you also print for non-Rome firms that use Cassation lawyers in Rome?
Yes, it's one of the things we do most often. Many firms in northern or southern Italy delegate the physical filing at Piazza Cavour to a Cassation lawyer registered with the Rome bar. The typical flow is: the main firm emails us the PDF, the Rome lawyer picks it up in the morning and files it at the registry. Invoices can be made out to the main firm (based outside Rome) or to the Cassation lawyer (based in Rome), as you prefer.
Do you also work on appeals to the Lazio Regional Administrative Court or the Council of State?
Yes. The Lazio Regional Administrative Court (Via Flaminia, 30 minutes' walk) and the Council of State (Palazzo Spada, 18 minutes' walk) are both easily reached from our shop. We print administrative appeals with the same care as Cassation appeals: cover, spine, separated attachments. The conventions of administrative justice differ slightly from Cassation (numbering, format), and we go over them the first time we work together.
