In today's news from Telebari, we delve into the inauguration of the judicial year in the Tara Pool del Tardis, where Vice Minister of Justice Francesco Paolo Sisto made an appearance. Our reporter, Roberto Maggi, reveals that the Puglia regional administrative court received 465 appeals in 2022 compared to 1,345 in 2021, with an additional 272 reasons added to the incidental appeals. This brings the total number of applications submitted to the court to a staggering 1,770. The president of the court, Angelo Scafuri, emphasized that this ceremony is dedicated to serving the citizenry.

In addition to the impressive number of appeals, there are currently 2,658 pending cases in the court, which demonstrates a significant reduction in the backlog. Moreover, out of the 1,463 appeals that have not yet been processed, Puglia's regional administrative court is among the most efficient in Italy. The court has published 2,844 decisions, showcasing its high level of productivity. The court's primary goal is to streamline the legal process and reduce the average duration of proceedings. Currently, ordinary proceedings take approximately one and a half to two years, while priority cases such as contracts have an average processing time of three months from appeal filing to judgment publication, compared to the national average of five months.

During the inauguration ceremony, Deputy Minister Francesco Paolo Sisto underscored the importance of meeting the needs of citizens as the primary objective of the administrative court. The Ministry of Justice is committed to providing infrastructure, personnel, and support to ensure a constitutional and efficient justice system. The aim is to align the judicial system with the evolving needs of society.

Smooth Sailing on State Road 16: Improvements and Considerations

Turning our attention to the realm of infrastructure, let's talk about the construction site on state road 16. Work on a 3 km stretch between Bari and Mola has been completed, and the project will now move on to the other side of the road. To minimize inconvenience, especially during weekends and in anticipation of the upcoming summer season, a well-planned schedule has been put in place. Starting from June 15th, work on weekends, including the Easter period, will be suspended, resuming only during weekdays. Vincenzo Marzi, the director of Anas Puglia, highlights the importance of state road 16 in connecting the southern area of the city. The project takes into account the requests of the municipalities of Bari and Mola and includes the restoration of lighting systems along the roadsides. The construction work will continue for the next couple of years, with interventions limited to weekdays.

Addressing Medical Liability: Striving for Improvement

Shifting gears, let's delve into a discussion on medical liability at the Giovanni Paolo II Oncology Institute. The institute recently hosted the first of five training courses designed to explore the issue of medical liability. These courses aim to define proposals for improving legislation and procedures in this area and involve both doctors and jurists. Despite a decrease in alleged cases of medical malpractice, the number of pending cases remains significant, with 90% of criminal matters and 70% of civil matters resulting in acquittals. The focus is now shifting from defensive medicine to preventive medicine, with an emphasis on protecting both patients and doctors from legal repercussions.

Local Events and Tragedies: A Bittersweet Reality

Finally, in other news, we were saddened to report a tragic motorcycle accident in Casamassima that claimed the life of a 25-year-old man. This devastating collision involved a car and a motorcycle on the former State Road 100. Our thoughts and condolences go out to the family and friends affected by this tragedy.

On a lighter note, preparations are underway for the 16th edition of the Bari-Montenegro EST 105 regatta, an international sailing competition scheduled to start on May 18th. Sailors participating in this prestigious event will embark on a journey from the Basilica of San Nicola in Bari, sailing towards the Montenegrin coast with their arrival expected the following day.
