IN today’s article, we want to discuss the Supreme Court ruling number 614\/2020 which was granted on November 17, 2020, relative to the court process concerning eviction in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most relevant facts of the case were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eventually, the Supreme Court ruled that the owner had no right to evict her as he had not compensated her for the construction carried out in good faith by her during the marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Spanish definition of precarious refers to and explains the possession of something without holding sufficient title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Supreme Court has said that when, for example, a father gives a son and his partner a property, free of charge and without a specified term, it is considered precarious. Therefore, the possession can be recovered, at the demand of the person who allowed the property to be occupied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this case, later, in the divorce proceeding, the use of the property was awarded to the wife (ex-daughter-in-law).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Article 361 of the Spanish Civil Code (CC), states that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The owner of the land on which building takes place by a third party in good faith shall have the right to keep the construction for himself, after payment of the compensation established in articles 453 and 454, or to oblige the other party to pay him, the value of the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, article 453 CC, states that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The necessary expenses are paid to every holder; but only the one in good faith can retain<\/u><\/strong>the thing until they are satisfied<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Supreme Court says that in the first place, the owner can keep what is built on his land. Secondly however, this does not happen automatically as the owner has to confirm his wishes and pay the legally fixed compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, until that moment, and in this case, the former daughter-in-law, continued to be the owner (at least in part) of the construction, and held, in good faith, possession of the occupied land. Thus, according to article 453, she can retain possession of the construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All of this is conditional to good faith<\/u><\/strong>, which in this case is understood to be proven. Mainly, because the owner of the land consented and agreed with the works done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have doubts about the court process for eviction in Spain, or in relation to any judicial procedures in Spain<\/a>, you can contact us<\/a> or keep up to date through our Facebook page.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The information provided in this article is not intended to be legal advice, it merely conveys information related to legal issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Carlos Baos (Lawyer)<\/p>\n\n\n\n White & Baos<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tel: +34 966 426 185<\/p>\n\n\n\n E-mail: info@white-baos.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n White & Baos 2021- All Rights Reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" court process concerning eviction in Spain.
