This is the court of last instance. Its role is to ensure the exact observance and uniform interpretation of the law (known as nomofilachia); among other things, it rules on conflicts of jurisdiction in terms of both territory and subject‑matter. It is the judge of legitimacy and its sole function is to ensure that the law is applied correctly by the judge deciding on the merits.

neutral  Carl Stoll: In real English we don't use the term "instance" We call it the "court of final appeal."

agree  Thomas Roberts: "Instance" is perfectly acceptable legal English. You can also translate this phrase along the lines of "role as guarantor of the uniform interpretation of the law".

nomofilachìa s. f. – Variante di nomofilacìa, più vicina alla forma greca, con cui nell’uso giur. mod. s’intende la garanzia dell’uniforme interpretazione della legge e dell’unità del diritto oggettivo nazionale; è in partic. il termine con cui viene indicata la funzione attribuita dalla legge alla Corte di cassazione.

Reference information:
If further clarifications and explications are required, just like in this case, the Supreme Court can do this exercising its duty to safeguard the homogeneous interpretation of legal concepts across the Country [in Italy we define this activity as 'nomofilachia', nomophilaptic activity. It is taken from two words of Greek origin 'Nomos' (rule) and 'Philos' (passion, care, study): that is, care for the rule or, in other words, care for the correct interpretation of the rules. This activity is of fundamental importance as far as it prevents Courts of Appeal to implement different definitions of same concepts across the Country, LD].
