Commission v Italy (2011) C-565/08 is an EU law case, concerning the freedom of establishment in the European Union.
Italian law required lawyers comply with maximum tariffs for calculation of their fees, unless there was an agreement between a lawyer and a client. Commission argued this discouraged lawyers established in other member states from going to Italy.
The Court of Justice, Grand Chamber held that having maximum fees for lawyers was lawful. It was not a restriction just because service providers had to follow a new set of rules.
