Law 15/2015, of July 2, on Voluntary Jurisdiction
King Felipe VI of Spain enacted Law 15/2015 to establish a comprehensive legal framework for voluntary jurisdiction, separating it from the Civil Procedure Act to modernize and rationalize the judicial system. The law defines the scope, competence, and procedural rules for non-contentious matters involving persons, family, succession, obligations, real rights, and commercial entities. It also introduces specific provisions for conciliation, modifies numerous existing laws including the Civil Code and Notary Law, and ensures the protection of rights for minors and persons with modified judicial capacity.
