Domain file or demon file?

The domain file is a notarial procedure whose objective is to accredit the acquisition of the domain of a property to enable a valid and effective title to serve as a basis for registration when it is not registered in the Land Registry.

It is not a trivial issue that arises when the transfer of real estate, either by purchase or donation, or by inheritance, is carried out without the property being registered in the Land Registry. The Property Registry is a State institution, whose purpose is to provide faith and protection for legal acts, which affect property or real rights over real estate, whether publicly or privately owned. In other words, it publicizes the legal status of a property in terms of ownership, transfers and encumbrances on it (such as mortgages); and safeguards the rights that have entered the registry. It is therefore the basis for legal certainty as regards immovable property.

When a property is acquired, which is not registered in the Land Registry, it can be immatriculated with the so-called “domain file”. This is a notarial procedure that serves to obtain a legal basis to validate and reaffirm your rights over the property and guarantee your access to the Property Registry, either by immatriculating the property in the Registry; or by resuming the registration process; or, finally, by transferring the excess capacity. The Mortgage Law covers all these cases, as well as the processing of the domain file, which is currently regulated by art. 203 LH.

Who manages these domain files?

After the reform of the Mortgage Law and the Cadastre carried out in 2015, the procedures are reunified in a single process, processed through a notary. In theory, this is a faster and cheaper process, but this does not exclude the fact that it is a tortuous process with many requirements and problems in its development, almost always leading to its resolution in a declaratory trial. Our real estate lawyers can help you in this process or with any questions you may have about it.

Although they share the figure of the domain file for its processing, the three figures are very different and attend to diverse situations; the immatriculation of the property in the Registry occurs when of this property there is no type of inscription, that is to say, the immatriculation takes place when it is the first time that the property in question is annotated in the Registry. To immatriculate a property, it can be done through the domain file, and there is also the possibility of doing so through the presentation of a public title transferring the domain, or through a court ruling.

The resumption of the tract (art. 208 LH); the properties registered in Spain have a sheet of paper where their “history” is told, that is to say, where it is seen in a chronological way who has been its owner in a constant and uninterrupted way, which is called successive tract. When one or more owners have not registered their right, the chain is broken, and the successive tract is interrupted. If it cannot be resumed by providing the omitted intermediate titles, the domain name file must proceed.

Excess or defect of capacity (art. 201 LH): if the property has a real capacity higher or lower than 10% compared to what is registered in the Registry, it will be necessary to proceed in the same way to solve it by means of a domain file, sending the article 201 LH to 203 LH, stipulating particularities for its processing.

Dividend policy and the possibilities of minority shareholders

By the partnership agreement, two or more persons undertake to put goods, industry or any of these things in common, in order to make a profit. This obtaining of a distributable profit, or if profit is desired, is a natural element of such a contract. In the case of capital companies (Public Limited Company and Limited Company, essentially), the Capital Companies Law regulates this element in key precepts: Article 93 a) and 273.1.

The former establishes the right of the “shareholder to participate in the distribution of corporate earnings”; the latter establishes the competence of the meeting to decide in each financial year on “the application of profits”. It follows from these that the rule in company law is that the right to a dividend only arises when it is specified with the agreement of the general meeting to approve the general accounts and the distribution of profits. At this point, it is easy to see that the legal premises are part of the recurring corporate conflict: that relating to the distribution of corporate profits.

How do I collect a debt?

The fulfilment of obligations is essential for the normal development of the economy.

Metrology: a citizen’s guarantee against traffic fines

Traffic Lawyers Gijon

To monitor traffic and road safety, administrations use measuring instruments such as radars or alcohol meters. However, these machines can fail. For this reason they are subjected to reliability checks. This means testing them to assess whether their measurements are within an acceptable margin of error. This is not a trivial issue. In fact, such checks are a guarantee, and this is provided for in section 83.2 LSV:

“Instruments, apparatus or means and systems of measurement that are used for the formulation of complaints about infringements of traffic, road safety and motor vehicle regulations shall be subject to metrological control in the terms established by the metrology regulations”.

What are the consequences of the above?

Quite a few in the area of traffic fines.

Layoffs of workers in cases of crisis

In relation to divorce or separation
