In analyzing the decisions of the period relating to disputes between the bank and the customer regarding the agreement and application of interest, particular attention is dedicated to the phenomena of usury and anatocism and, with regard to the first of these, it is noted that the orientation of the United Sections of the Court of Cassation, to consider that supervening usury cannot be configurable in the presence of authentic interpretation of the legislator according to which the usurious nature of the interests must be assessed at the time of their agreement, even if it implies that during the course of the relationship the customer can being required to pay interest which, if agreed at that time, would be usurious, seems to find a reasonable justification in the legislator voluntas to repress heterodox behavior of the bank without also wanting to affect the execution of the contractual relationship in accordance with a lawful agreement.

Nell’analizzare le decisioni del periodo inerenti alle controversie fra banca e cliente in tema di determinazione e applicazione degli interessi, si dedica particolare attenzione ai fenomeni dell’usura e dell’anatocismo e, con riguardo al primo di essi, si rileva come l’orientamento delle Sezioni Unite della Corte di Cassazione, di ritenere non configurabile una usura sopravvenuta in presenza di una norma di interpretazione autentica in forza della quale il carattere usurario degli interessi deve essere valutato al momento della loro pattuizione, se pur implica che nel corso del rapporto il cliente possa essere tenuto a pagare interessi che, se pattuiti in quel momento, sarebbero usurari, sembra trovare comunque una ragionevole giustificazione nell’intento del legislatore di reprimere comportamenti eterodossi della banca senza voler anche incidere sull’esecuzione del rapporto contrattuale conformemente ad una pattuizione legittima.

Abstract

In analyzing the decisions of the period relating to disputes between the bank and the customer regarding the agreement and application of interest, particular attention is dedicated to the phenomena of usury and anatocism and, with regard to the first of these, it is noted that the orientation of the United Sections of the Court of Cassation, to consider that supervening usury cannot be configurable in the presence of authentic interpretation of the legislator according to which the usurious nature of the interests must be assessed at the time of their agreement, even if it implies that during the course of the relationship the customer can being required to pay interest which, if agreed at that time, would be usurious, seems to find a reasonable justification in the legislator voluntas to repress heterodox behavior of the bank without also wanting to affect the execution of the contractual relationship in accordance with a lawful agreement.
