Introduction

In 2017, the General Council of the Judiciary agreed to create specialised courts for litigation related to general conditions includedin financing contracts with real estate collateral whose borrower is a natural person, known as floor clause cases. Subsequently, and by means of successive agreements, the General Council of the Judiciary has maintained thes pecialisation of some of these courts, being abolished in other cases.

This panel shows, among other aspects, visualisations and information on the volume of incoming claims in this area, as well as the rulings handed down.

In order to know the status of these judicial bodies, datais provided from the quarterly bulletins collected by the General Council of the Judiciary from the third quarter of 2017 to the latest available.

The data includes:

·Those relating to the movement of cases: entry into the judicial bodies (lawsuits filed) in the selected period; cases resolved in the period.
·Number of judgments, final orders and decrees issued in the selected period.
·Number of appeals, against orders and judgments, lodged during the period for processing by the provincial courts.
·Number of appeals returned by the Provincial Courts once they have been resolved, classified as those that totally confirm the initial decision, totally or partially revoke it or annul it.
·Number of appeals for the selected period, and number ofthem actually held in the same period and, from 2018 onwards, differentiating whether they are preliminary hearings or trials.
