    Constitutional court changes the application of the common law in duplum rule
    2015-03-30

    The in duplum rule is a common law rule that provides that arrear interest ceases to accrue once the sum of the unpaid (accrued) interest equals the amount of capital outstanding at the time (and not the amount of capital originally advanced). "In duplum" directly translates to "double the amount".

    Court decision on liability of outside auditor for losses caused by accounting fraud committed by a savings bank
    2013-12-04

    In 2009, a certain savings bank (“S Savings Bank”) issued subordinated bonds (the “Subordinated Bonds”).  Subsequently, the Financial Services Commission designated it as an insolvent financial institution and issued a management reform order, which included the suspension of its business.  Eventually, bankruptcy proceedings were commenced against S Savings Bank in around 2011, and the representative director of S Savings Bank was indicted for financial statement fraud and eventually found guilty.

    El Tribunal Supremo veta la apreciación de indicios de delito tras la liquidación tributaria o la sanción
    2019-12-23

    La Sentencia del Tribunal Supremo nº1246/2019, de 25 de septiembre anula el art. 197 bis del RD 1065/2007, de 27 de julio por entender que no cuenta con habilitación legal, de modo que la potestad de dictar una liquidación de los elementos de la deuda tributaria vinculados al delito no ampara suficientemente la posibilidad de pasar tanto de culpa o remitir el expediente al Ministerio Fiscal en cualquier momento, incluso cuando ya se ha dictado la liquidación o se ha impuesto la sanción.

    Los administradores de una sociedad incursa en causa de disolución no responden de deudas sociales anteriores a su nombramiento
    2020-01-31

    Los administradores responden de las deudas contraídas por la sociedad tras la aparición de una causa de disolución si no promueven la ordenada disolución y liquidación. Sin embargo, esta obligación se refiere a las deudas surgidas durante su cargo, de manera que no les son imputables las deudas originadas antes de su nombramiento como administradores, aunque al acceder al cargo la sociedad ya estuviera en causa de disolución.

    Un crédito hipotecario no comunicado sigue siendo un crédito con privilegio especial
    2019-06-27

    Interesante Resolución de la Dirección General de los Registros y del Notariado de 5 junio 2019. En el origen, se trata de la inscripción de una venta directa de bien hipotecado, hecha en liquidación concursal, por un valor inferior al de tasación, pero sin contar con el consentimiento del acreedor hipotecario, como impone el artículo 155.4 de la Ley Concursal (LCon). Según la administración concursal, este consentimiento no es preciso, pues en virtud del artículo 97 ha desaparecido el crédito hipotecario por no estar incluido en la lista ni haber sido ésta objeto de impugnación.
