About to get my first taste of the Italian legal system

I was half expecting this. I’ve been called to appear as a witness in a case in Milan’s courts. I won’t say any more at the moment, because I’m not sure I can.

I’m a wee bit concerned, not about appearing in court – done it before, a long time ago in the UK, as a form of expert witness. But what worries me is that it can be difficult to keep up with hearing re-schedulings here, or so I have heard from a friend of mine, although he was talking about the Courts in Genova.

Apparently if you don’t turn up on the right day they fine you, around €1000-00, and that could be on top of the day’s income I’ll lose. Ho hum.
