Blurring the Distinction between Public and Private Law in Spain
By Carlos Gorriz (Autonomous University of Barcelona)
Abstract: The distinction between Public and Private Law has been and still is being used in Spain. Nonetheless, nowadays it should only be used as a departing point. The reality evidences that it is necessary to go further, and deepen in different branches of law, to fully apprehend the reality or rightly assess the complexity of the case. The analysis of the Spanish Maritime Law, the action on damages arisen from antitrust infringements and the case of the preferred stakes in Spain evidences the reality.
