The Fernando Pombo Foundation collaborates with the ‘Cuidamos Contigo’ project | ABC
13 March, 2025
‘Law has a fundamental role in the construction of a fairer and more egalitarian society’ is the maxim of our Foundation that accompanies us in our daily work.
Our Foundation collaborates with the project ‘Cuidamos Contigo’ because we believe that legal knowledge should be a real support tool. Our aim here is to make the law accessible and useful for non-professional care givers and people in a situation of dependency.
We work to ensure that Fernando Pombo’s legacy is translated into initiatives with a real impact, such as this important and necessary one. This impact is possible thanks to our collaborative network of more than 500 professionals, many of them pro bono lawyers from the Firm, students and professors from legal clinics at universities, companies and social organisations.

Supreme Court clarifies VAT treatment of intra-group transfers of shares carried out by mixed holding companies
The Supreme Court has established ‘cassational’ doctrine regarding the treatment under value-added tax of intra-group transfers of shares by mixed holding companies. It is confirmed that the intra-group transfer of shares constitutes a financial activity that cannot generally be classified as a management support activity. Likewise, it is acknowledged that an intra-group transfer of shares may not be subject to said tax when it involves the indirect transfer of an independent economic unit, subjecting such exclusion to the circumstances surrounding the transaction.

Supreme Court rules on ‘administrative silence’ in the electricity sector: “public service” or “service of general economic interest”
The Supreme Court judgment of 10 April 2026 characterises the concept of public service under Article 24(1) of Act 39/2015 as an exception to the ‘double silence’ rule, distinguishing it from the concept of service of general economic interest, which applies in liberalized sectors such as that of electricity supply. The Supreme Court thus concludes that in seeking an authorisation to close a combined-cycle power plant, the ‘double silence’ rule applies to the effect of a presumption of approval.

Limitation of a patent and the Unified Patent Court’s ‘long arm’
We analyse the problems that arise when a claim is filed with the UPC for infringement of a unitary patent and, at the same time, for infringement of the validation of the basic European patent in States that are not party to the Agreement on a Unified Patent Court, and the claimant solely limits the unitary patent (because the defendant only files a counterclaim for revocation of the unitary patent with said court, but does not initiate any parallel revocation proceedings with the competent national court against the validations of the basic European patent in States that are not party to said agreement).
