Legal Remedies When Facing an Unfair Dismissal Ruling in Spain

In this article, we discuss the type of legal procedure a company in Spain can use when a court’s decision qualifying a dismissal as unfair has damaged a company.

As covered in a previous article, when the Judge of Social Affairs rules in favour of the worker, thus qualifying the dismissal as unfair, the company that contests this decision and does not wish to reinstate the worker must:

  • Notify in a five-day period its intention NOT to reinstate the worker.  In the event the worker concerned is the workers’ representative, the worker will adopt this decision and not the company.
  • File an appeal.

Price Regulation in the Electric Commerce in Spain

In Spain, the General Law in Defense of Consumers and Users provides that the consumer must receive notice of the final price of the goods, (including all taxes and fees) before the execution of a contract.

Furthermore, the Law of Services of the Information Society states that when referencing a price, the business must be clear on the price of the product/service and whether it includes applicable taxes and delivery costs.

Risks of buying real estate from banks

In these times of severe economic crisis, thousands of properties are sold at auction every month in Spain because their owners can no longer pay their debts. In most cases, the creditor is a bank and if no bidders participated in the auction, the creditor himself receives ultimately the contract.
