La Grand Chambre pone un freno alla forza espansiva della “vita familiare”: uno stop all’attivismo giudiziario in tema di maternità surrogata nel caso Paradiso e Campanelli contro Italia

The essay aims to frame the sensible field of surrogate maternity, with respect to the legal relationships and aspects stemming therefrom. Without prejudice to the domestic case law, the paper goes through comparative analysis and end with the (famous) Paradiso and Campanelli judgment before the second section and (finally) the Grand Chamber. The Grand Chamber judgment looks for underling a boundary between controversial assisted procreation practice cases that could be protected under the “family life” notion ex art. 8 CEDU and the ones that fall outside of the scope of the mentioned article.
