The Supreme Court has passed Sentence of 21st December 2015 in which the following jurisprudential doctrine must be followed by the rest of Spanish courts:
That is, Spain is a country with many failed constructions, some of them half finished and some others were not even started. They were sold off-plan and the purchasers paid advanced amounts of the price on account into a bank account designated by the developer.
Since there was no occupancy and expiry date, mainly due to the financial and real state crisis in the sector, the outcome for the purchasers has been losing their homes as well as the money given in advance or on account due to the lack of solvency of the developer and the lack of guarantees established by the law.
The jurisprudence of the Supreme Court establishes the obligation of the banks to be responsible of the advanced amounts on account. In January 2016 the Law of 1968 which holds these claims was abolished. Consequently, the previous sales which fulfil the abovementioned requirements can be rescinded and a legal claim of the amounts on account can be started against the bank.
