closure of a case

Usage Note

Archiviazione comes from archiviare (to archive/file) and is used in both digital contexts (data archiving) and legal ones. In Italian law, richiesta di archiviazione is a prosecutor's request to close a case without charges — roughly equivalent to 'dismissal' or 'no-bill'. This legal sense can trip up learners who expect only the IT meaning.

Examples

"L'archiviazione dei documenti richiede tempo."
