Abstract:
The principle non reformatio in peius (non-reformation for the worse, ie no one can worsen the
situation through their own appeal) must be respected both when judging the appeal and at the retrial of the
case, following the annulment or quashing of the decision, because retrial is the consequence exercise of the
appeal, and the party must have the certainty that it will not worsen its situation, not only in the appeal it has
promoted, but also in the procedural stages subsequent to the admission of this appeal.
The principle non reformatio in pejus is regulated in this way, according to art.481 of the Code of Civil
Procedure, the appellant cannot be created in his own appeal a worse situation than the one from the contested
decision, unless he expressly consents to this or in the specific cases provided by law
