The new Spanish system of recognition and enforcement of decisions foreign.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This paper addresses the new system of recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments in Spain, after the entry into force of the Regulation 1215/2012 in 2015 and the Law on International Legal Cooperation that finally repeals an antiquated system that was already exceeded by the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court. The new system, studied along these lines, is far away from the complexities of the system of 1881, adapted to the existing reality -the need of a simplified system for the recognition of foreign judgments done the current mobility of natural and legal persons. This has already occurred within the European Union, where since the entry into force of the 1215 regulation we can talk about the existence of the fifth freedom, the free movement of judgments.
