La Factura de la Injusticia (“The Price of Unjustice”)

-

How does justice really work in Spain, and how does it affect our welfare? An efficient judicial system is essential for economic development, and its slowness costs a lot of money. For instance, large Spanish companies set aside €12 billion every year to deal with potential litigation, more than what the General State Budget set aside for infrastructure in 2021. But it is not only companies that are affected. Citizens’ daily lives also change depending on how the justice system works, even if they have never had a lawsuit. A good example of this is that, if it were possible to reduce judicial congestion by just one point, Madrid would gain 3,400 rented homes and Barcelona, 3,100.

This book analyses, with clear and objective data and in an entertaining language, the situation of the judicial system in Spain, including its digitalisation and its resources, its territorial differences and the circumstances of its different actors, such as judges and lawyers. After outlining the consequences for Spanish society and the economy, the book discusses possible solutions, including the promotion of mediation.
