Understanding INTRASTAT: EU Trade Reporting

Principle of Jurisdictional Unity (Art. 117.5)

The Principle of Jurisdictional Unity is a fundamental basis of the State's legal system, regulated in Article 3 of the Organic Law of the Judiciary (LOPJ), where it is of great importance. It is defined in opposition to the establishment of special courts, which were characteristic of the Ancien Régime.

Judicial power rests exclusively with the courts, exercised by members of the judiciary. This implies the absence of special courts whose members are not part of the judiciary and are therefore not subject to its specific legal status or, in some cases, the principle of independence.
