I. A case of unenforceability of an award Article 45.1 of Law 60/2003, of 23 December, on Arbitration (“LA”) provides that “An award is enforceable even if an action has been brought to set it aside”. However, case law has established a number of requirements with regard to the enforcing of arbitral awards which are not final and binding. Moreover, Article 44 of the LA establishes that the enforceability of awards will take place in accordance with the Spanish Civil Procedure Law (“LEC”) and will therefore be subject to the rules and requirements of civil procedure.

Law 29/2006 (26 July 2006) on guarantees and rational use of medicinal products and medical devices is the central regulation governing medicinal products. The law still requires development through a large number of Royal Decrees, during 2008 and 2009. Many provisions of Law 29/2006 (such as the sale by post or by telematic means of certain medicinal products) do not appear to be enforceable until such legislation is enacted. This particularly applies to rules on medical devices, which are included in Law 29/2006, but need legislation to be effectively enforced. Such specific legislation is currently being developed, including for medical prescriptions and traceability.

The approval of the Concurso Law (Ley Concursal) in Spain on 9 July, 2003 was the realisation of a long sought-after aspiration in Spanish property law – namely the reform of the legal instruments for dealing with distressed businesses. Today, only a few years later, day-to-day practice shows that some of the old problems are resurfacing.
