The exclusive jurisdiction of the administratíve judge, the abolition of which has been a twenty-years lasting target for those who support a consolidated jurisdiction of the ordinary judge over labor disputes, seems to be approaching the end of its days. None the less, the Author foresees that the administrative judge will take the opportunity offered by d. lgs. n. 29/1993 to intensify the ef-forts aimed at re-shaping and modernazing his case-law according to the labour law principies and values that regulate the private employment relationshíp. In the Author's opinion, this is the most important chance for the administrative judge to regain the confi-dence of the unsatisfied users and to thwart, consequently, the threat of a «justice ejectment».
