A la mujer le asignan una parcela y al marido las participaciones sociales de la SL Xamons Martínez que gestionaban el ex-marido y su hermano.

La doctrina jurisprudencial sobre el «hallazgo causal» y su supeditación a la idoneidad y proporcionalidad de la inspección (Sentencia Tribunal Supremo de 22 de octubre de 2019) 6 noviembre, 2019

Access and Interoperability and Antitrust 16 julio, 2020
Many of you will have seen a lecture I’ve given on several occasions since around 2011 when I discuss antitrust issues around interoperability.
