Gómez-Acebo & Pombo recognised at the Global Pro Bono Awards 2021
21 October, 2021
The Global Pro Bono Awards ceremony took place yesterday, where the two projects presented by our Foundation, Online Gender-Based Violence and Primero H Socimi, were recognised in the prestigious awards of PILnet (Public Interest Law Network), a global organisation of reference in the promotion of legal pro bono. These awards recognise projects from all over the world in which leading international law firms participate.
The Online Gender-Based Violence project has been awarded as the best project in the Local Pro Bono Impact category and thus becomes the first Spanish pro bono project to obtain this award.
Through this project, the Foundation together with the Law Firm, the Luz Casanova Foundation and the Carlos III University of Madrid, want to contribute to improving knowledge and legal assistance in gender-based violence by digital means among adolescents. To this end, a practical legal guide and an information leaflet for adolescents have been created and will be presented on 23 November at the Firm.
The project team was formed by Patricia Fita, Ana Higuera, Alejandra Martín, Marina Martín, Rafael Merino and Carmen Pombo (for the Foundation) and Carlos Álvarez, María Rosa Garrosa, Teresa Gutiérrez, Inés Fontes, Saray López, Inés Molina, María Flora Morillo-Velarde, Borja Ramos, Marta Robador, Inés Puig-Semper, Irene San Martín, Ralph Smith and Beatriz Vivar (for the Firm).
For its part, the Primero H Socimi project, which has been shortlisted, is a large pro bono collaboration project for the constitution of the first social SOCIMI in Spain, created by ASOCIMI and HogarSÍ, with the support of Andersen, our Firm and our Foundation.
The aim is to develop 177 homes in three years, mainly for homeless people.
On this occasion, the team was made up of Patricia Fita, Ana Higuera, Marina Martín, Rafael Merino and Carmen Pombo (for the Foundation) and Enrique Isla, Oliver Padilla, Jacobo Palanca, Augusto Piñel and Javier Vinuesa (for the Firm).
These awards, which enjoy great recognition worldwide, are a benchmark in the practice of pro bono, so this award is an honour for the Firm and the Foundation of which we are very proud.
Thank you very much to all of you for your commitment and collaboration in these initiatives that are so necessary for social progress.
CONGRATULATIONS!

Payment service providers’ rectification of unauthorised or incorrectly executed payment transactions: user obligations
The Court of Justice of the European Union (Fourth Chamber), in its judgment of 1 August 2025, case C-665/23, IL v. Veracash SAS, concludes that a payer is deprived of the right to reimbursement of the amount of an unauthorised transaction if he or she delayed in notifying his or her payment service provider of the unauthorised payment transaction, even though he or she did so within 13 months from the debit date. This interpretation of the Payment Services Directive is applicable in Spain (Art. 43 RDL 19/2018) and appears to be retained in the future Regulation on payment services.

Contractual termination by mutual abandonment not claimed by any party?
The risks of applying the doctrine according to which a contract is deemed withdrawn from if neither party to the same appears to want it. Not only is this solution likely to be inconsistent with the parties' claims, but it also wrongly rules out other civil law options the parties could pursue upon dismissal of the action for declaration of termination.

Invalidity of agreements concluded by director in breach of duty of loyalty
In Judgment no. 142/2025 of 11 April, the Madrid Provincial Court (Twenty-Eighth Chamber) addressed two issues relating to the bringing of actions for declaration of invalidity of two sale and purchase agreements concluded by a company director in breach of his duty of loyalty. On the one hand, and in view of the specific circumstances, it ruled on whether the company could formally assume the role of claimant in the dispute. On the other hand, it ruled on the importance of the fact that the disputed transactions were beneficial to the company concerned and on the possibility of a ‘tacit’ dispensation.

The Unified Patent Court grants interim relief regarding a European patent validated in Spain: critical considerations
The Decision of the Hamburg Local Division of the Court of First Instance of the Unified Patent Court dated 14 August 2025 grants interim relief because it claims jurisdiction to hear the substance of the matter (both the infringement of the unitary patent in the States party to the UPC Agreement and the Spanish validation of the European patent on which the unitary patent is based). To this end, the court offers a series of observations on its international jurisdiction, not all of which are accurate.

The Unified Patent Court takes jurisdiction to hear a claim concerning the infringement of the UK national part of a European patent, even when the validity of the patent is being disputed
In a decision dated 18 July 2025, the Mannheim Division of the Court of First Instance of the Unified Patent Court took jurisdiction to hear a claim filed against three companies domiciled in Germany for infringement of a classic European patent with effect in Germany and the United Kingdom. The court's jurisdiction to hear the infringement of the UK national part of European patents is not affected by the fact that the validity of the patent is disputed by the defendants. However, this conclusion does not apply to Spanish national parts of European patents.
