Should I go to a Spanish court? Spanish litigation firm provides you the answer
The Spanish property and litigation Lawyers of Arcos & Lamers Asociados sincerely hope to inform you that there is no need to go to court. Our English spoken solicitors and lawyers always make all efforts to avoid court hearings. We assess our clients’ needs in such a way that we are normally able to reach a clear and firm agreement on their issues so that no further conflict is caused.
However, we need to be realistic. Even the most suitable contract drawn up may not be fulfilled to the full extent if any of the parties do not want to or simply cannot comply. Unfortunately, this occurs more often than we would hope and in some cases, going to court is not only the best solution – sometimes it is the only solution and in those cases we must face up to the situation.
Of course, the lawyers of Arcos & Lamers Asociados will be at your side at all times during the procedure.

The different steps in a legal lawsuit in Spain.
They vary according to the kind of procedure, but in general terms, they all start by filing a petition at court which is called “a statement of case”. The statement of case is sent to the other party for them to answer (if they so wish) within a certain period of time.
Depending on the case, a prior hearing at the Spanish court will normally be held to settle the facts of the litigation, to resolve any technical issues and present the evidence that both parties have agreed upon.
There’s always an oral trial in which the judge is present, the evidence is presented and the closing arguments are made.
Several weeks after, the judge will pass sentence either in favour of one or the other party. There is the possibility to appeal against the majority of the judgments, but the prevailing party may request the judgement to be executed provisionally. Therefore, it is not necessary to wait until the end of the procedure to collect the amount the other party owes you.
