Labour Court Procedures in Spain

The Labor Court proceedings in Spain generally begin with the submission of a claim by the plaintiff, which could be either the employee or the employer. The claim should include the details of the dispute, evidence, and the compensation amount sought. 

The defendant, or opposing party, is then given an opportunity to respond to the claim.

Once the claim and the response are received, the Labor Court will schedule a hearing. During the hearing, both parties will present their arguments and evidence. The judge may also question the parties and witnesses to clarify the facts of the case.

After the hearing, the Labor Court will issue a verdict, which can range in judgement from employee reinstatement to compensation for damages, or even the specific performance of an employment contract. 

Often, we help the plaintiffs and defendants reach a settlement agreement on their own before or during the proceedings, which can then be approved by the Labor Court.
