Legal Business Organization

A company is a set of tangible and intangible assets whose primary objective is to achieve an economic objective.

The legal system, in regulating business, offers two main options:

Single Enterprise vs. Joint Venture

Single Enterprise

Refers to an individual who develops a business. In this case, the employer is often confused with the company.

Joint Venture

Consists of a fictitious person composed of natural persons, possessing legal personality and its own patrimony. This category includes different types of companies covered by law, such as limited liability companies, partnerships, and public limited companies (SA). Currently, there is also the Individual Limited Liability Company.

Understanding Mutuals for Work Accidents and Occupational Diseases (AMTSL)

Mutuals for Work Accidents and Occupational Diseases (AMTSL) are non-profit associations approved by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security (MLSA). Formed by entrepreneurs, they assume the responsibility of collaborating in the coverage of work accidents and occupational diseases, and where applicable, economic benefits for temporary disability due to common contingencies, sharing costs and expenses. This requires that the associate has exercised an option in this regard. Additionally, Mutuals play an important role in the prevention of occupational risks (Art. 32 LPRL).

Autonomy of Procedural Law

The Electoral Process: Autonomous Stages (Aftalion Vilanova)

Divisions of Autonomy

I. Legislative and Jurisdictional Autonomy

1. Through the issuance of electoral LGMIL.

This autonomy is evident through the generation of essays, monographs, conferences, and theses on electoral procedure for bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees.

III. Scientific Autonomy

1. It provides finality to acts not challenged within their respective districts, ensuring legal certainty and security.
2. Another purpose of electoral procedural law is to ensure that acts or resolutions of the authority are subject to the law.

Rules Governing Electoral Procedural Law

Precautionary Measures in Legal Proceedings

To adopt a precautionary measure, which is instrumental to a main process, it must be temporary and meet three proportional requirements:

• A prima facie case (a reasonable appearance of a case).
• A risk to the effectiveness of the process (periculum in mora, or danger of delay).
• A reasoned decision for its adoption.

It must be argued that there is sufficient evidence of criminal acts and that the person against whom the measure is enacted is responsible for them. The danger of delay specifically refers to the possible disappearance of the accused; if the accused is not available, the trial could not be held.

In the course of criminal proceedings, before a firm conviction for... Continue reading "Precautionary Measures and Arrest in Criminal Law" »

Understanding Spanish Autonomy and National Unity

Section 2: The unity of the nation is a fundamental fact, considered to exist prior to the Constitution and therefore unchangeable. Article 1.2 defines our sovereignty and national levels. This article is a remarkable and somewhat redundant expression of the tension between centralist, autonomist, and federalist forces. It is the only instance where the Constitution recognizes and guarantees the right of regions and nationalities to constitute themselves as Autonomous Communities. The Constitution manages the radical concept of a single nation, thus establishing a single state. This article is further developed by Title VIII, Chapter 3.

Article 143.1: Establishing Autonomous Communities

Article... Continue reading "Spanish Constitution: Regional Autonomy and National Unity" »

Confederation of States: Definition and Structure

Concept of a Confederation

According to García Pelayo, a Confederation is the relationship between States, created by an international agreement, with the intention of perpetuity, which leads to a power that is exerted on Member States and not, immediately, on individuals.

Legal Nature and Historical Context

From a historical point of view, the Confederation has a fluid nature, often seen as a mere alliance between a League and a Federal State. In any case, it belongs primarily to international law, since it holds no immediate power over the citizens of each State. When in doubt, the competition and the law of the particular state prevail.

Constitutional scholars are interested in its study for... Continue reading "Confederation vs. Federal State: Legal and Structural Differences" »
