Posting a Minor’s Photo on Social Media

Posting a Minor’s Photo on Facebook Requires the Consent of Both Parents Right to One’s Own Image and Minors. The right to one’s own image is a fundamental right. The decision to publish a photograph of a child or minor on a social network belongs to the sphere of parental responsibility shared by both parents. Therefore, it is not within the scope of decision-making for custody. This is stated in the Judgment of the Provincial Court of Barcelona dated April 25, 2017. The basis of this Judgment is the repeated doctrine of the Supreme Court. Parents, as holders of parental authority, have the duty and responsibility to protect the image of their minor children. As the Supreme Court points out, the agreement of both parents will be necessary to publish images of their common child on social media.   Judgment of the Provincial Court of Barcelona.

Mortgage Foreclosure. Complete Dismissal. Success Story.

Dismissal of Mortgage Foreclosure. The Court of First Instance No. 1 of Alcalá de Guadaira has declared the abusiveness and consequent nullity of the acceleration clause and, most importantly, the dismissal of the Mortgage Foreclosure, which entails the termination of the proceedings brought against our client. Thus, our client’s rights as a consumer and user have been upheld and, after facing the banking institution under our legal direction, has defeated BANKIA S.A., which sought to evict him from his home. Court Order: Content and Consequences. The court ORDER has declared that the acceleration clause on which the bank terminated the contract is abusive, null and void, and therefore the proceedings against our client cannot continue.

On this basis, the Court dismisses the...

TOURIST APARTMENT RENTALS

Practice Area: Civil Law and Contracts. Tourist Apartments The Plenary Session of the Civil and Criminal Chamber of the High Court of Justice of Catalonia, in JUDGMENT dated May 19, 2016 (Judgment number 37/2016 (Reporting Judge Mr. Abril Campoy)), has declared the following regarding TOURIST APARTMENTS: “the use of the dwelling in question in this appeal for cassation for tourist purposes was not prohibited in the community bylaws when the activity began.” Furthermore, the plenary session of the civil and criminal chamber recalls that Catalonia legislated the activity of tourist apartments and states that “until the distinction between tourist apartments and tourist-use dwellings was re-established, tourist-use dwellings had to apply for an administrative license as a tourist apartment, as in this case.” Likewise, it adds: “it cannot be concluded that, in the abstract, the existence of tourist-use dwellings implies an activity contrary to normal coexistence in the community; rather, it...

Corporate Commitment and Corporate Compliance

Area: Corporate Compliance Author: IN DIEM Team, Criminal, Corporate and Compliance Area CORPORATE COMMITMENT INTERPRETED AND INTEGRATED BY CIRCULAR 1/2016 OF THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE ON THE LIABILITY OF LEGAL ENTITIES CORPORATE COMMITMENT 1.- LEGISLATIVE SITUATION Organic Law 5/2010 introduced criminal liability for legal entities into our legal system, resulting both from the ongoing process of international harmonization of Criminal Law and from the felt need to provide a more effective response to the advancement of corporate crime. OL 1/15 was enacted with the purpose of clarifying and developing OL 5/10 despite the fact that no international regulatory requirement supports the need for the criminal reform that occurred. Article 31 bis of the Criminal Code establishes a regulatory mechanism for attributing liability to legal entities by transfer or vicarious liability through a numerus clausus system that makes the imposition of punishment contingent upon express provision for the commission of...

DATA PROTECTION. Trends

DATA PROTECTION. Trends. Interview with our colleague CASIMIRO GALÁN in CORREO DE ANDALUCÍA. Without a doubt, New Technologies have made DATA PROTECTION an imperative necessity, far beyond national and EU regulations, entering the sphere of interest of every individual. In any case, companies and organizations are especially more affected by current legislation. Therefore, CASIMIRO GALÁN recalls in his interview that “any natural or legal person handling personal data has the obligation to comply with the law in order to ensure that such data is protected from third parties who could misuse it. The objective is to prevent unauthorized uses.” As well as the fact that “there is an increasing need to adapt to European regulations, which have always been ahead of Spanish ones. For example, as a new development, there is already discussion about the need for large companies to have an advisor dedicated to data protection. And medium or...
