Derecho de la Competencia: Limitaciones al uso de internet en la venta de productos y servicios: ¿hasta dónde llega el Derecho de la Competencia?

Internet es actualmente una herramienta prácticamente indispensable para la distribución de muchos productos y servicios, utilizada por las compañías en el marco de complejas estrategias de marketing y ventas. El derecho de la competencia ha reconocido desde los inicios la importancia de las ventas en línea para el mercado único europeo y, en general, para el desarrollo de la distribución, promoviéndolas y protegiéndolas frente a limitaciones indebidas. Sin renunciar a esos principios, el marco normativo actual y el enforcement de las autoridades de la competencia ha evolucionado y se ha sofisticado para atender las distintas posibilidades que brinda el uso de internet, abordando conductas en relación con distintas modalidades de venta o de publicidad en línea, por ejemplo. En esta sesión, repasaremos la normativa de competencia en relación con el uso de internet en sentido amplio y los últimos pronunciamientos de las autoridades de competencia en la materia.

Supreme Court judgment on the Campelo wind farm: does it clear the path for wind energy in Galicia?

Supreme Court Judgment no. 316/2025 marks a turning point in the intense litigation surrounding wind energy projects in Galicia. While confirming its doctrine on the public consultation procedure, the Supreme Court clarifies that the fact that several wind farms share evacuation infrastructure does not, in and of itself, establish the existence of a single project for environmental purposes, contrary to what was previously held by the Galician High Court of Justice.

A first ranking mortgage does not prevent a creditor from accelerating loan maturity due to debtor insolvency

If the creditor has a secured claim (even if the debt is covered by the “value of the security”, i.e. the claim is in the money), the debtor cannot avoid the effects of the to-term forfeiture by appealing to the existence of that security because the guarantee referred to in Article 1129(1) of the Civil Code (avoiding to-term forfeiture) must then be another additional guarantee.

Si el acreedor goza de una garantía real para la seguridad de su crédito (incluso si la deuda está cubierta por el «valor de la garantía», es decir, que el crédito está in the money), el deudor no puede evitar los efectos de la pérdida del plazo apelando a la existencia de aquella garantía real porque la garantía a que se refiere el artículo 1129.1.º del Código Civil (evitadora de la pérdida del plazo) deberá ser entonces otra garantía suplementaria.
