Spanish Judge applies UK Law to a case
Wednesday, June 11, 2008 @ 12:09 AM

We won another case in Orihuela last week, the Judge passed a great decission that I would like to translate and pass along to you. He applies lots of Consumers Law legal arguments in favour of the buyer and even considering that the claimers were british, he argued in favour of the international uniformity to the case. Amazing!

It is a Judge of the Fourth Turn ( not by career but by appointment) and used to be a Lawyer. I am so proud of that.

Does this put a bit of more confidence in our system and our judges? I hope so.

There are really good people in the spanish legal arena, they just need to make their voices be heard.

Anyone interested on having the text of that Court Decission, just let me know and I will send it along. You can find our email address in our website: www.costaluzlawyers.es

In the UK we have the 'Red' Judges (named after their red gowns) who are brought in to settle cases on which regular judges are unable to reach a judgement.
They are well versed in the 'common law' and are able to settle cases based on this law, therefore making the judgement the same wherever the case is held, be it in England or Wales, or in London or Newcastle. Equal and fair justice for all. Well that's the theory and the majority of the time it works.

I am heartened to hear that such judgements ARE possible in the arena of Spains' consumers' rights.
