Italian term

pagare subito la sentenza

Italian to English Law/Patents Law (general) Details of civil court case
"...poi in attesa che facciate causa civile per recuperare ii vostri danni di circa 160.000€ vi chiederenno di pagare subito la sentenza di Milano."

These are a few facts in a letter regarding a client's civil court claim. I am unsure whether "sentenza" here refers to court fees or to to a charge for something else. It seems like some ongoing argument has been running for a while, and could be related to an employment case, but I don't have full details.

Payments In Italian, I think a payment ordered at a location and demanded by the adversary would be either a fine (multa), penalty (penale) or judgment (giudizio). In US, I think it could only be a judgment, unless I'm forgetting some other possibility.

to pay forthwith the Milan / costs/ order

It's a cvil employment case, so there is neither any criminal sentence handed down, nor would the defendants be found 'guilty of any crime'. Rather E+W judgment Scots law: judgement would have been given for the plaintiff / claimant.

I agree with the first discussion entry, except 'demanded by the adversary' could be the court costs - all or a part thereof - claimed by the other side.

Note that, in the UK, an employment case is likelier to be heard by an employment tribunal than a court of law, though an English county court in my experience tends to be pro-employee and anti-employer.
Note from asker:
Thank you. It seems to actually be corruption among company directors, so I think I misled you regarding "employment" issue - seems to be a bit "criminal" after all.
