The
fifth
and
final
criterion
given
by
the
Constitutional
Court
is
perhaps
the
one
that
most
clearly
reveals
the
practical
inconveniences
of
that
court
’s
approach
.
According
to
the
Constitutional
Court
,
“
the
fact
that
,
in
the
case
before
it
,
the
European
Court
has
not
been
able
to
assess
the
particular
characteristics
of
the
national
legal
system
,
and
has
extended
to
it
criteria
for
assessment
devised
with
reference
to
other
member
States
which
,
in
terms
of
those
characteristics
,
by
contrast
prove
to
be
little
suited
to
Italy
”
would
deprive
a
judgment
of
binding
force
in
similar
cases
.
This
situation
would
arise
every
time
a
domestic
court
considers
that
the
Strasbourg
Court
misapplied
to
a
certain
State
a
legal
principle
that
it
found
applicable
to
a
different
State
.
This
criterion
is
not
qualitatively
different
from
saying
that
domestic
courts
should
not
follow
the
Strasbourg
Court
’s
rulings
when
they
think
they
are
“
little
suited
to
Italy
”
